Are you speaking about mozilla? ;) Well, that's definitly not the first purpose of volatile, and so, I would like to postpone it a bit. However, in the long run, I think you're right about adding newer packages if they fix security issues, and we can't fix them otherwise. But I think it needs more than just some consideration how to do this in a non-breaking way.
