<p>k9mail's developer called it a day, so this is still strictly the better outcome. If you want an unmaintained version, why not just install the old version?</p>

<p>I'm not a Thunderbird user myself, and obviously everyone's experiences are different, but I've seen lots of people happy with Thunderbird's development. And just the fact that they've ensured that k9mail is still maintained seems like an objective win, even if it's now called Thunderbird. Exchange support is also something I've been hearing people wish for in non-Outlook email clients in general for ages.</p>

<p>Right, I kinda get the definitions, but usually I have no problem with them, i.e. the correct one also "sounds right" to me. I wonder why it didn't in this case?<p>Edit: hmm, re-reading it now, affect does look right. Weird.</p>

<p>That's basically how you could describe what happened. Those competent people are using Mozilla's infrastructure and trademarks, but otherwise running on donations.</p>

<p>One thing that's important to note (which holds for the Mozilla Corporation too) is that the for-profit thing is a legal status, but the Foundation (an official non-profit) is the only shareholder, i.e. the only entity that "profit" can flow to. So you're not lining some billionaire's pockets.<p>(Though of course, employees of either entity can be paid whatever, which also holds for every other non-profit.)</p>

<p>Yeah it's all a bit complex (just like the US tax code, I suppose). MZLA (which makes Thunderbird) is a subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation. The Mozilla Corporation (which makes Firefox) is <i>also</i> a subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation. In practice, this means that the people running Firefox day-to-day aren't the people running Thunderbird day-to-day, although of course they do talk, and technology choices made in Firefox can and do effect Thunderbird, just like they effect e.g. Zen Browser or Tor Browser.<p>(Also, someone help a non-native speaker: I think the "effect"s above should be "affect", but for some reason that looked wrong here. Why is that?)</p>

<p>As a Dutch person, I experience exactly this dilemma: ringing the bell feels like telling people to get out of the way, when often there is plenty of space for me to pass through, but I <i>know</i> that there's a significant chance that they're going to veer into my way if they don't know I'm coming.<p>Of course, ringing my bell will often <i>cause</i> people to veer into the way, too. But then if you ring at a sufficient distance, you risk them not hearing it. Except there's no way to tell if they're not hearing it, or just consciously not veering into the way, and in the latter case, you don't want to ring again, because that will sound <i>even more</i> impatient.<p>Etiquette is hard.<p>(And yes, I want cars to have a bicycle bell too, so they can greet people without jump-scaring me.)</p>

<p>Heh, you were walking right up to my viewpoint and then turned away. A parliamentary democracy with proportional representation has way more influence IMO, and you'll find another couple of relatively well-run countries that work like that.</p>

<p>Often it's very likely that previous ones won't need to change significantly, in which case disposing of having the full context while waiting for that review ends up slowing you down a lot. In those cases, often the main cause of extra busywork is Git administration, having to manually rebase sub-branches, and then losing in-progress reviews on those PRs as well.</p>

<p>Jujutsu is interesting in that it appeals both to Git enthusiasts, and people who strongly dislike Git's UX. It's great to see it spurring more innovation in the ecosystem around it.<p>Though if it can just make stacked PRs widespread, I'd already be very happy.</p>
