Mozilla To Ditch Firefox Extensions?

An anonymous reader writes "Although some have raised concerns about how sane switching to Jetpack is, it seems that Mozilla's new gadget is bound to replace the powerful extension mechanism we know. Maybe Mozilla wants to replace all the great add-ons we use daily with gadgets that add an entry to the Tools menu, or maybe they just want to draw thousands of inexperienced developers into putting together a bunch of HTML and CSS that won't integrate in the UI. It seems to me that in light of recent decisions we've discussed before, Mozilla isn't going in the right direction. What do you think ?"

There are users with conflicting opinions, but the /. staff of editors pick which stories to put on the site, and what summaries to put with them.
When I say that /. has a bias, I refer to the staff. The userbase is a little more diverse.
