It's  interesting, but I'm on the Mozilla Persona list. And that list which 
is pretty active, was pretty surprised to hear that Techcrunch said they were 
dead.
So they've scrambled.. I don't know if that means they are transforming or 
transitioning, because the last week, writing a grant app, i've not paid 
attention.

But I'm not sure they think they are dead yet.
