It's a little more complicated then this so I wanted to quickly expand so
this conversation has a few facts which have been missed.
There are two elements to this code.
1) Link hijacking and history API (generally stable)
2) Loading a page through API and rendering it. (has bugs)
We use 2) after making an edit to avoid a page reload. This is good. This
has been in stable but a lot of the bugs it has go unnoticed and usually
get reported in alpha. So your assessment that it is not stable enough for
beta is not quite accurate.
I don't think I personally waste time on bugs here (most get back logged)
but alpha helps us identify a lot of issues in the editing interface that
may go unnoticed.
Also if we ever want to serve a Firefox OS app via the mobile site we will
need to keep iterating on this code.
I don't think we waste significant resources on this code but others feel
free to disagree.

No, seriously. It had been in alpha since forever, we
routinely spend our
precious time on fixing bugs in it but it never was usable enough even
for promotion to beta. Let's not waste resources on it and kill it.
