Mozilla No Longer Allows Firefox Community Editions?

It looks like Mozilla has disallowed Firefox Community Editions. There has been no official announcement of this change (that I could find) or any new policy.

http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/trademarks/community-edition-policy.html

is now a 404. If you look at the document history:

http://bonsai-www.mozilla.org/cvslog.cgi?file=mozilla-org/html/foundation/trademarks/community-edition-policy.html&rev=&root=/www/

you find this bug:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474865

where Catherine Brady says:

“Community Editions are no longer authorized.” She also states that a new policy would be available at the end of February. It’s now the beginning of April.

Any details Mozilla?

I hope they’ve talked to folks like FrontMotion
