Comment 5 for bug 567819

As someone with an interest in Pyjamas which is potentially affected by the above removals, can someone explain to me in simple terms why it was actually neccesary to remove anything in the first place? From how I read the description some things were split into seperate packages (which is fine), but now these packages are not being included in Lucid... why?

Secondly, if this decision cannot be reversed and/or the irritation avoided in the short term, can a developer ppa not be set up in the interim to support current Ubuntu users relying on xulrunner (and friends) in prior editions of Ubuntu who upgrade to Lucid (and who will be "stuck up crap-creek in a barbwire canoe without a paddle" with respect to things that use xulrunner if the above remains as is?...)
