Pro:
* we do not split users behaviour, they need the same experience
  that ASLO requires
* one common branding for activities and objects sites
* AMO has sufficient(imo) functionality - reviews, ranking, collections
  and thumbs mode
  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:2/cat:all?sort=popular
* we hack AMO code anyway - its not a problem in adding new AMO environment

(?)
