Thanks for that.

Off-topic; it’s great to see a good old-fashioned XHTML web page – with a Strict doctype to boot! I remember hand-crafting websites using XHTML (at first Transitional, then Strict) using Server Side Includes as the only backend technology and being proud at how semantic and human-readable the source code was. The markup on this page is elegant, clear and readable while the rendered XHTML is both accessible and responsive.

Not every "user-hostile" change listed was a net negative for users. For example, the page strongly opposes XUL deprecation, but that was a necessary change for e10s, which benefitted users in both performance and security.
