I think it is more appropriate to use CORBA to embed the calendar component into other applications. For example, when thunder encounters an email with a .ics attachment, it will open up sunbird and use CORBA to communicate with it and display the calendar inside the preview panel.

mozilla doesn't use corba. it does use xpcom. And the extension and sunbird share 99% of the code, so not much pain there. So what would be the benefit of stopping to provide an extension? we will only loose users that actually want to use the extension?
It's nice to know that sunbird and extension shares a lot of code. However, a CORBA bridge would still be nice, since it allows external apps, such as nautilus and openoffice to display/embed Sunbird calendars.

With the way this summary is phrased, it sounds like WONTFIX to me. There may be some merit it trying to incorporate corba compatibiltiy, but the calendar extension certainly isn't going anywhere.
