>-          <b>A:</b> If the Jetpack SDK built-in library provides enough APIs to enable the majority of functionality that existing add-ons require, then weâll talk about whether we'll deprecate XUL-based extensions. If the Jetpack API doesnât provide the flexibility or feature you need because of the extensible library system, youâll be able to write your own module to add that capability.</p>

Yup, reads better, although it still feels like a bit of a dodge, since the direct answer to the question is that we have no plans to deprecate traditional XUL add-ons (although that could always change).

Nit: the 0.3 news item should be removed.

The Add-on SDK is no longer a Mozilla Labs experiment and has become a big enough project to warrant its own Bugzilla product, so the "Add-on SDK" product has been created for it, and I am moving its bugs to that product.

To filter bugmail related to this change, filter on the word "looptid".
