Pretty sure we don't do any special "are you current" checking on the nightly pages; I don't know about Aurora or Beta. I was actually thinking of Release builds and security updates, but I see the patch doesn't actually match the original bug comments nor current title. (Which seems to have mutated somewhere along the 100 comments which I desperately want to avoid reading. Using a new bug would have been MUCH better -- mutating complex or contentions bugs with histories just never works out well. Context matters!) Specifically, the previous history of this bug was more about exposing a version number like "rv:3" or "rv:3.6" instead of "rv:3.6.20". Now we're just dropping any trailing, say, "a2", "b1", or "pre3". So now "rv:13.0a1" becomes "rv:13.0" and "rv:13.0.9pre42" becomes "rv:13.0.9" (which is largely moot, we don't make builds like that). As long as first security update for the Release build still has "rv:13.0.1", the issue I raised in comment 102 is quite unlikely to be be a problem. And if someone still wants to push for dropping everything but the "13.0", then please file a new bug. Or get your debate on over in the Seamonkey-specific bug 728952.
