Before they push Persona more, can someone walk over to the team that's running http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/ and either disconnect their servers or lock them to their chairs until they finish the migration?

I understand the pain of rebranding assets, I do. But if you're going to rebrand to a product your company is already using, it has to be fast. And Mozilla, the 2 year anniversary is in July...

getpersonas.com is currently read-only [0], "Personas" have been renamed to "Themes" on addons.mozilla.org [1], and the getpersonas.com domain should go away within two weeks [2].

The migration is actively underway! The site will be shut down in a time scale ordering on weeks.

Completely agree. When I first starting hearing about it, this is what popped into my head. For the longest time, I couldn't separate the two.

At the very least, they should have chosen a different name.
