It's clear now that this decision has angered off many of our Nightly users -- dozens have responded unhappily, and for every one that has written there are probably many more that haven't. (A rule of thumb from politics is that for every voter that writes a letter, there are 100 more that think the same thing; YMMV.) These people are some of our most important users, because (a) they provide early testing and feedback, and (b) they are likely to be overly influential users, i.e. the kind that recommend to their friends and familiy which browser they should use. I understand the concerns about developer efforts. Can we please re-enable these builds, stash them somewhere obscure so that no-one will ever unintentionally stumble across them, and slap a giant warning on them saying "no support, no promises, no nothing, use at your own risk"? That would consume negligible developer resources, but would give us a chance to regain the goodwill that we're currently pissing away.
