> That would have the nice side effect of making it easy to switch channel, although I wonder how that would interact with the profile-per-channel model.

I implemented channel switching for Firefox 5 and there is more that would have to be done to support channel switching. There are also things that couldn't be done (changing the bundle name, install dir, shortcut names, dock names, etc.) which were originally deemed acceptable by upper management it was later decided by upper management that not being able to do these things was unacceptable.
