The question was raised: does it make sense to do such a switch in a long term release cycle? Usually I would say no, but unforunately mozillas are different. They have a constant stream of new security issues that _need_ to be fixed. If we don't ship 3.0, upstream support for our branch will vanish a _long_ time before we stop supporting hardy. Keeping our users security will then not only be painful, but eventually is likely to become (practically) impossible. So in the end - we don't really have a choice here, but to go for firefox 3.0/xulrunner 1.9. - Alexander -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
