* Need to discuss adding a null deref to make add-ons fail early, i.e., Relevant Knowledge uses the a11y API in a non-threadsafe way. We should block the dlls, but also keep add-on developers from using this in a way that will eventually crash. The problem is we don't know how many add-ons this will break (and will it matter?). Also, is there a patch ready to make this happen? If not, can we get one ready so that we are prepared to pull the trigger? Peterv has the details.
