Yes. If anyone wants to do a git bisect to find when the Mozilla Corporation lost its integrity, we can say it was definitely "bad" by the time they forced out Eich in April 2014.

How about when they implemented DRM in Firefox just roughly a month after Eich was ousted, which was the actual reason for his departure?

He was the only one higher up keeping that from happening and they didn't even wait until the body was cold to push that agenda.
