That is not the logical conclusion I came to.  If its impossible to work 
backward from a bug in a 10 day old snapshot (and they don't even care to try) 
then the codebase is changing so rapidly that the developers themselves must not 
be doing a process of bug removal yet, just constant change.  I do not need to 
test that, because the dev that changed the code should be at that point, unless 
they don't even bother locally compiling changes before commits.

I'll just assume broken xulrunner based app issues are going to be broken for 
some time until features settle (even more...).
