Big changes are afoot for Mozilla. Lots of good news too, mostly in the form of ditching the kitchen-sink model that has made Mozilla a bloated process-vampire. A few interesting bits:

* Phoenix will become the browser for Mozilla.
* The yet-unreleased Minotaur will become “Thunderbird” and become the mail client.
* The development model will change, conforming to an Apache-esque community, instead of a developer-free-for-all.

Lots of good news here. Phoenix is a great browser, and I’m excited for Minotaur so I can ditch Mozilla on the PC and Evolution on linux.
