I think I speak for a lot of users when I say thank you for taking the
right approach to this. Yes, I was one of the people incredibly upset
with Mozilla for their approach, but by engaging them, rather than
simply saying a big "screw you" (as the Debian team ultimately did,
essentially), it looks that the right outcome has happened, one which
is good for all parties involved.

So, once again, thank you developers for taking the intelligent, civil approach!
