For two reasons. First of all it'll be hard for developers to tell that they don't have to fix certain pieces of code. A simple grep will turn up all hits in the tree, whether they live in thunderbird code or not. And, at least currently, mxr/dxr would return hits for all code. Given that people are already feeling pressure to fix up thunderbird code when they land patches, I can only see that pressure increasing when you don't even need to pull a separate tree. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
