That's highly unlikely to happen. It's been discussed before. In fact, at one point somebody uploaded mozilla 1.0.2 to stable-proposed-updates, but that was rejected. Apparently, although the mozilla developers claimed they wouldn't do it, 1.0.2 broke compatibility with derivitive browsers like Galeon. I don't recall the details. When I was working on trying to construct a security upload for mozilla a while back, I was basing a lot of my work on mozilla 1.0.1 (1.0.2 wasn't out yet). By examining the list of bugs fixed in 1.0.1, I had a good place to start to try and track down some patches. Unfortunately, the changes were rather large and in many cases were not entirely self-contained and would have wound up pulling even more new code in. It was, generally, a fairly painful experience, and although I did get some patches applied (and tested!) I never felt like I made significant progress toward fixing all the known bugs. I haven't looked at the code in quite some time. Honestly, at this point, who uses Mozilla 1.0? Why? noah
