So what you're saying is that Gecko (libxul) has gotten too big, and that development of libxul stuff (Gecko) has stalled until it has fixed. How is my title sensationalist? For those wondering, the bug where this is discussed is: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709193

To be clear, the only thing that's "stalled" is integrating large pieces of code into our nightly builds. People are certainly still working on developing their bug fixes/features/etc.

That's why I said "stalled" and not "halted" or "stopped". I'm surprised the discussion is around the wording of the title, half of which is your choice of wording, rather than the content. It's an interesting thing that a major open source development effort has hit a road bump in development, and the steps to solve it are interesting.
