FYI: Mozilla native MSI Bugzilla activity

FYI...
In the past few months, the "ticket" which tracks the Mozilla project's efforts at developing a "native" MSI has recently seen some serious activity after being in limbo for years. I'm not sure what (if anything) will come of it, but I thought people here might be interested. If I knew more about Win32 software development, I might try to pitch in myself, but I don't. I'm an IT management weenie, not a developer.
Mozilla Bugzilla Bug # 231062
"(MSI) Provide Firefox MSI package"

I'm not trying to take away your livelihood, DraconPern.
Just thought it might be of interest to others here. Simply making an MSI doesn't address custom add-on packaging and/or Group Policy administration, so there's still plenty of "value add" to be found at FrontMotion anyway.
Clear skies!
