Re: [users] 64 bit flash-plugin and 64 bit Firefox question
Did you open a Ticket? Or just a Bugzilla? And what you're saying here is that backports should never be done with Firefox? What about for those with many desktop profiles?

You are not making the distinction in your posts. Hi Bryan, It was years ago, so my memory is a bit challenged, but my recollection was that I posted to Red Hat's bugzilla a couple of times with the Cert exploit and all. I got ignored. And they did not just forget to update the bugzilla as I saw no updates of any kind go through. What I took from the experience was this is not something to waste your time on. My technical opinion: I would not run an out dated browser. The security danger you place yourself in does not merit any perceived stability advantage of an older version. I part company with Red Hat on this one.

Re: [users] 64 bit flash-plugin and 64 bit Firefox question
Really? Has there been the same with EL5 as well? I'm just speaking from experience here, I suggests otherwise. Do enterprises really pick from various repos and aggregate them, hoping they are updated? with securing fixes? And I thought we're weren't talking latest. I thought we were talking a 3rd standard between Fedora and EL? Most enterprises I've worked in have an annual build standard and refresh desktop software every 18-24 months. In just 18 months we'll be looking at Fedora 19, which is a far cry from Fedora 12/13 (EL6). Maybe EL7 will be out by then, maybe not. I just see a lot of gaps and questions, just like back for EL5. On the other foot, there is a real call by Fedora with something more exacting. Just had to point that out. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

Curently, and for 2-3 years at least, Any/many packages for Fedora are easy to recompile for EL6. It will get more complicated with time, but there will always be third party repositories that will offer newer version. You just need someone that will monitor patches made and update regularly.
