Hi Bill,

First time poster here, so please forgive what is likely a silly newbie
question:

For those of us who are new to or simply evaluating Evergreen, would you
mind providing a q+d resume of why XULRunner is "no longer considered a
viable long-term option as a software platform"?

Many thanks!

"And my favorite request for the year was to change the call number of
something in the PNs to the Zs -- because we don't have any more room
in the PNs.  And no one wants to shift books in order to accommodate."
