Well, Mozilla's really a for-profit owned by a non-profit, which is a 
little weird.

In any case, Mozilla's demonstrated enough times in their history that 
they're not particularly worried about alienating and ignoring big 
groups of users. (Heck, they don't even try to promote their products as 
customizable anymore.) Of course, whether this will actually translate 
into similar issues with Rust remains to be seen. Hopefully they'll be 
more reasonable with Rust.
