-|Improved add-on packaging system
-|Main article: [http://xulforge.com/blog/2010/03/xpi-v2-making-ext-dev-easier/ XPI v2 – Making Extension Development Easier]
-The idea is to create a new packaging system for add-ons that makes it much easier to get started with add-on development. There are 3 parts to this idea:
-* Merge install.rdf and chrome.manifest into a single manifest file in JSON format.
-* Change the way chrome URLs map to actual files, in order to allow a more flexible add-on structure.
-* (optional?) Optimize the installation process for performance.
-The old system would need to continue to work with the new one.
