Your previous article and Mike Connor's blog post are completely unrelated. The "component directory lockdown" has no effect on properly written extensions. It's intended to prevent misguided software that drops files directly into Firefox's install directory from breaking users when they update (a problem we've seen in the real world). Mike Connor's blog post is about the future direction of extensions, which has nothing to do with that.
I'm pretty sure nobody is claiming that Firefox 3.0 RC2 is "bug free". We all know better, there are plenty of outstanding bugs that just didn't make this release. What has been said is that all of the bugs deemed blocking Firefox 3 have been resolved, and thus we're free to ship this release candidate.
