Does that stand true for phones only or for tablets as well?
I seriously doubt that doing non-Gecko-rendered UI is aligned with doing 
things the Mozilla way at all, but I understand that the thinking seems 
to be that Android phones don't deserve to have all the power we can 
deliver, and I'm seriously hoping B2G will be a crushing success as then 
this native UI thing will worry me less. That said, I hope at least 
tablets, which already have a quite good experience with the current UI, 
will stay with full Mozilla power.
