The ship exists but whether it remains the same ship is a matter of opinion; and yet Theseus sails onward.
I see Mozilla as suffering from a crisis of identity, internally; it's acting as though it is staffed by believers in the manifesto but is now steered by those enamoured with The Bay Area and its ways.
