While I respect your opinion as a module owner, this is not likely to  
be acceptable from a schedule or driver standpoint.  We have been  
quite open and clear about feature freeze for gecko being M7  
(formerly beta 1), since at least March.  This in the newsgroups, the  
wiki schedule, and the weekly Gecko 1.9 meetings.  Past M7, all  
checkins for 1.9 to Gecko will require driver approval, and while in  
past releases we have made exceptions to feature freezes for SVG, I  
do not believe we will do so for 1.9.

Gecko 1.9 has been two years in the making, the longest cycle without  
a release off the trunk in the project's history, and eventually we  
have to close the door to new features.
