Other list participants were warning about the possibility of people
abandoning Firefox in droves if there were cookie-related problems
caused by its use of public suffix list. You, on the other hand, are
suggesting that we can just make changes to the way cookies work and
expect broken sites to fix themselves. These seem to be two
irreconcilable views of the future.

Long history and experience has shown us that we can't just break
people's websites like that.
