At the prototype phase, I think the goal should be to validate the design approach and get some feedback for further refinement. I think we should differentiate that from how and when a validated concept makes it into Firefox core. That is the decision of the module owners/product team/etc...

Which is why i think it would be better to put your efforts into a process that would move an extension into the firefox core.

I see this as being complementary to mozdev. Some mozdev projects have migrated to the core of Firefox and I expect that to continue. I expect mozdev will be the home of things that none of us would have thought up, could have predicted, but someone just does. That's a great part of our strength. Robert:
