The new download experience was released along with Firefox 20, just one month ago.
While the rapid release trains provide a very good userbase for testing a feature, it's only at the release time that the "real world" feedback allows to prioritize improvements.
Unfortunately, at that time, there's the concrete risk of a disconnection:
- the user sends valuable feedback
- the development team is already busy on something else

Currently defining a new XPCOM component in javascript has no implications regarding createInstance. This means any code or add-on may instance your component multiple times, even if you intended to make it service-like.

Some time ago I posted a simple shell script to automate trivial backouts, using the method suggested by Ehsan Akhgari and improved by Daniel Holbert.
