Agreed.  No gratitutious API changes - but changes for good technical
reasons can be discussed and reviewed.  Even minor changes to the chrome
can break add-ons and the shorter cycle of the next release means
extension authors have less time to react.  So we should make that
transition as easy for them as possible.
