"On her weblog, Mozilla Corporation CEO Mitchell Baker has announced that Mozilla Thunderbird is to move to a "new, separate organizational setting" as the Mozilla Foundation continues to focus ever more closely on Firefox. While the Mozilla Foundation supports a number of projects, its taxable subsidiary the Mozilla Corp. is responsible for only Firefox and Thunderbird. However, it has become increasingly clear that Firefox is the priority. The resources allocated to Firefox dwarf those allocated to Thunderbird and recent projects such as the initiative to improve Mozilla support exclude Thunderbird."

Then again maybe it's a good thing. Maybe Thunderbird will get the attention it needs and will move into the realm of becoming a replacement for Outlook like programs through extensions and modular design.
Then again maybe we are seeing the end of Thunderbird (only to be renamed something else and have it's direction changed).
