    But as I see it, having it work with QT is important because it makes things possible for sub-projects of mozilla (some of which are more aimed into pda/embedded market) and also because having support for it further developed (and not removed from the source tree) might provide many important pieces of code which can be utilized in other open source projects as well... I think QT is very interesting concept from the embedded devices point of view, especially... I don't know but I think this might be rather important from a wider view also :)

    This is the way the free market/software system works, there will always be dead/dying projects. The time to allocate to such projects is a valuable resource, obviously people have chosen to invest it in something else.

    If someone found it important enough, they would find the time themselves, or come up with money to hire someone else to do it.
