Have you NEVER been late in your life? The folks at Mozilla aren't Micro$oft con-artists. If they are running late, I'd bet my cat they have a good reason. And I'd bet my cat again that when this is released, it will work as advertised. And they won't change the default colors in MSPaint to the most retarded, useless colors ever. (I hate you Vista!)

The blurb on there still talks about a 24-hour delay... from over a week ago.

With the current version of AMO, the rating system was horribly used and abused time and time again by people giving a rating for comments that had nothing to do with the extension/theme the rating was given to. Users should be allowed to make comments without having to add to the overall rating of an extension/theme. Also the AMO team should highly stress that improper rating usage won't be tolerated and you would be at risk of being banned off mozilla.com and mozilla.org.

Your comment proves it. The AMO Team doesn't want to put out a product that doesn't work. M$ is more than happy to put out a faulty product, issue a patch fir it that f#cks up your system, then issue a patch for the patch that only makes things even worse. No wonder Mozilla is so popular...... I always thought Bill Gates was a “Meatball”.

It would be interesting to know what percentage of the AMO team are REALLY a part of the team, and what percentage are only part of the team because AMO is a means to achieving their own agendas.

A lot of the pages are hitting well over 50 queries, many for data completely unrelated to the task at hand. For instance, a user's info page with 6 addons results in 65 queries (or 70+ when logged in). Cake is great for making working with databases wonderfully easy, but you need to savagely unbind things you don't need and even write your own model functions and custom queries for specific tasks, otherwise performance goes out the window. I agree with Wladimir, don't let arbitrary dates that have been pulled out of thin air dictate when you release. Learn from the mistakes of the software you're replacing - you should release only when your team reaches a consensus that it's as ready as it needs to be for use in production.
