I reckon this is fantastic news for Firefox users. My only hope is that
various Linux distributions can keep up with faster cycle of Firefox
releases and include the updates in their repos. Because I can see that the
current Firefox inclusion model, not only for Fedora but Ubuntu too, is
seriously going to generate issues when Mozilla speeds up the release cycle
of Firefox.

Firefox releases, going forward

2011-04-11 Thread Chris Smart
Given that Mozilla is dramatically changing the development of Firefox
and making releases much more frequent - i.e. Firefox 5 due in July, 6
later in the year, are Firefox updates going to change in Fedora? Are
we still going to stick with the major version series at the time of
Fedora release, or are we thinking about a more rolling release
system?

I'm assuming this will ultimately depend on the changes Firefox pushes
and their effects on system libraries, but just curious.
