I hope that Mozilla will finally figure out exactly what are their goals. They won't gain trust by releasing something promising and dropping it while after because it didn't match their expectations.

In this case, you are going to ignore what sounds like a very promising and useful product because the organisation that provides it once dropped support for something else. Despite it being open source - so if they did kill support you could continue to use all their hard work.
My suggestion is to take each product on it's merits. If it's useful to you, use it - which adds to it's popularity and makes it less likely to be killed.
I actually got angry when I saw it was from Mozilla. It's gotten to the point that supporting their projects seems like a waste of time. It's the old... "fool me twice, shame on me".
Something like this would have fit in nicely with Firefox OS, too.
They don't just pull the plug on interesting projects, they do it so quickly.
> dropping it while after because it didn't match their expectations.
I wonder what those are? Entry into the educational market, tie-in into other projects (that haven't already been killed), showcasing open technologies...
Honestly, I'm not even sure they know themselves./rant
Still... like much of their previous work, this looks promising.
Speaking of wastes of time....
