The grandparent comment was quietly asserting that the "perceived fear" was actually Mozilla's plan, and that they reversed course. I must admit, while I'd never really thought about Mozilla as an organization much before, the last month or two has prompted some thought about it, and this sort of "We're doing A. <time passes> No, wait, there's a perceived fear that we'll do A, but that's not who we are; we're doing B." seems like a good model of what they're doing lately. This saddens me, since I mostly use Firefox these days. :/

Except nothing in the original announcement came close to the perceived fear. Essentially, people were extrapolating in such a way that this[0] comes to mine.
