If they care so much, they should just build their own. Seriously. If you’re on Windows XP, you can build Thunderbird using only freely available tools, and naturally you can build using gcc and the other GNU friends on Macs and Linux.

I also would question why these users trust the Mozilla Foundation enough to use zipped builds that magically appear in a set location but don’t trust them enough to not lie about where the zipped builds actually come from – the nightly build folders themselves.

If you consider removing the only way to get access to the Program for many people nothing…

Or the pain system administrators now need to undertake to get their systems in shape…

Pff… lot of fuss about nothing. Again.

MoFo has once again made a decision without thinking about the consequences. They even blame that it was the .zip build fault while in reality it was (as so often before) a failure in the installer of not preparing the install location correctly.
