Oh hey, an @mozilla address.
Frankly, I have no idea what you are trying to say here.
I never said it was not their job to do this nor that they did not do
their job. Please do not insinuate i said things i did not say.
I am however indeed saying that there is no demonstrated merit to their
decision, and that is objectionable in a number of ways. Note that this
does not necessarily mean that they must be removed, just that they should
put public a very good point for keeping them if they do so. Right now due
to lack of such the public has a hard time of discussing any merit in the
first place, since the reasons for the decision can only be guessed at and
the only thing that relates to this (as far as i am aware) in public
communication, was a justification to remove features that can be
implemented as extensions.
As for what you consider to be a misunderstanding, i cannot even begin to
guess. Maybe it would behoove you to reread my previous replies to make
sure you did not misunderstand me, or if you are sure that you did not, to
clarify what you are saying, so it cannot be misunderstood. Don't feel
afraid to be a little bit wordy. I'm not afraid of reading and would
rather have clarity in communication than careless brevity.

Well, deciding whether a feature should be part of Firefox or not is
part of the job of Product Management. So, by deciding that Hello or
Pocket should be bundled in, but that other features should not, they
have done exactly their job.
Whether or not you agree with these choices is up to you. But please
discuss them on their merits, not on a misunderstanding.

Thanks for confirming that my line of thought is correct on the
implementability of Hello as an extension.
That said, you may think it does not follow, but given that you do not
explain why you think this, there is not much of a conversation to be
had, and your ability to convince is zero as of now.
As i stated in my original email, given their explanation of earlier
removals, it is hypocritical of Mozilla to implement functionality in
core that could be implemented in an extension instead.
If there is special circumstance for either Hello or Pocket, there
should be a very good reason for it, but so far none is obvious or has
indeed been given.
