So I just spoke with Callek about his plans to move SeaMonkey off of their existing Windows 2003 builders that cannot install Visual Studio 2012 or newer, and it seems like Dec 15th is a date that will probably work fine for SM, and that is still within the Gecko 37 cycle. Jeff, can we hold off the Skia update plans until that date?
