Deprecating XUL (and XPCOM) actually has a good and logical reason,
which is making Firefox properly threadable and removing many security
holes that the present architecture has. It's not change for the sake
of change (which I will admit some Firefox changes have been) — it is
change for the sake of keeping up with the modern world.
