Gecko 1.8.1 features are separately tracked from the Firefox 2 app
planning.  It is not a requirement from the application end, other than
the generic item for Gecko 1.8.1 uplift and improvements.

Well, the conversation around that was "if we're doing Places in this
release, we need all of these things for it to be done" which is why
they were all P1s.  If something turns out to be too risky, in terms of
stability and/or schedule impact, we need to reassess things. The
requirements will evolve and change for any release based on what is
possible and what is not, at that point in time.  Features and their
importance are relative to release dates, and we based the feature list
around a Q3 release.  With a possible slip until next year to get Places
up to the right level of quality in Fx2, and a planned Q1 release for
Firefox 3, moving the feature to Firefox 3 isn't a big change in when
the feature should get to market, it just means others will get there
earlier.
