One small reason, but most of the reason is that it's had RC bugs and been out of date on random architectures for ages. Anyway, I cannot see a serious tenable argument that we're better off keeping mozilla 1.0.0 just because a couple of mozilla-locale-foo packages aren't ready for 1.5 yet [1], so we'll just remove from testing any of those that aren't ready when mozilla finally makes it in its own right. They'll have a chance to make it back in. Fortunately, half of them appear to be OK at the moment. [1] As I make it, the following packages in testing depend on a specific version of mozilla in such a way as to cause problems when upgrading mozilla. If you can back up your "about two dozen" with an expanded list, please do so. mozilla-locale-auto mozilla-locale-ca mozilla-locale-de-at mozilla-locale-fr mozilla-locale-gl-es mozilla-locale-ja mozilla-locale-zh-cn mozilla-locale-zh-tw Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
