The thing with Pocket is that it's basically an extension installed by default. This is the first time Mozilla does such a thing to Firefox, and this doesn't please the community, including myself.

I though that the whole point of integrating a new feature is to really implement it into the software, where you can make it efficient and reliable, where you don't rely on a third party to make it work and where users' data is bundled to their Firefox profile only.

If they think it was not worth it to implement it, then they could just label the extension "featured", make a blog post to advice it to the community and call it a day. Otherwise they can just start integrating any popular extension, call it a new "feature" and defend themselves by saying that people use it so it's important.
