Upstream issues are a whole different kettle of fish, but obviously still cause problems. Online game clients tend not to become stable now simply because they can suddenly stop working when the server software is upgraded, requiring a rapid upgrade to the client. Maybe we need to rethink the definition of "stable" in these situations. I think it still doesn't hurt to have some kind of QA cycle internally for something like firefox. Plus at least with firefox the old versions don't suddenly stop working/etc, assuming they still get upstream security notices. Rich
