Bugzilla Interview Question:

If only some people want a feature, could not it just be a preference?

Submitted by: Administrator

A. In general, no. First, every piece of code needs to be written and maintained, both of which take developer time away from bugs and other features. Second, each added preference makes all other preferences slightly less accessible. Camino's goal is to be lightweight, which means keeping the number of preferences down as well.
