Comment 65 for bug 1458593

Releasing a full application is a whole other can of worms. It requires much more attention than an extension. I would need to maintain our own build machines, (beta) releases need to be done every 6 weeks, extra QA, features need to be integrated into two different user interfaces, code needs to be written in a way that it works over two products, etc. Aside from that, Sunbird cannot handle email invitations, so users will still want something that handles this situation. Doing this across apps isn't possible unless you are using Thunderbird and we write some complicated code to interact with it when its running. Alas, if we were to continue to support Sunbird, then we would have to concentrate on releasing two products, and this is precisely what we wanted to avoid when we discontinued Sunbird.

This issue has had the same level of attention in the last years, and with what I've explained this will not change just because a few comments were written here. I understand you all want to know whats going on, but this is not the right place to test theories of what would be better. This is the last comment I will write on this subject, please use the newsgroups (mozilla.dev.apps.calendar) for futher inquiries.
