I really hope this doesn't impact the client too significantly. A substantial part of why I use Thunderbird is to keep out of these "ecosystems".

I'm sure Mozilla will run a heathy and sustainable project straight into the ground.

That's what they do

Mozilla doesn't run Thunderbird

Well... The Mozilla Corporation doesn't. But both the Corporation and MZLA (which makes Thunderbird) are owned by the Mozilla Foundation.

But yeah, the different org does probably matter.

I think the purpose is to find a source of revenue so that they don't have to ruin their product. There's a lot of potential good here, in addition to the unfortunately undeniable potential bad.
