So here this is a problem while for frozen you're arguing that we could easily do sourceful uploads and just wait for the builds to trickle in? > 3/ experimental is not meant for daily usage, so it's doesn't help users > who really want a rolling release It's not that it isn't meant. Of course we could also look at overlay solutions. (That said, while I'm very happy about mozilla.debian.net, I somehow still feel that those packages should be added in a co-installable way into some official suites. But then you get back to the "we don't support all architectures yet" department, I presume.)
