Well, take a look on MandrakeClub, we have Mozilla-1.4, galeon rebuilt
for mozilla-1.4 and epiphany too, which were all available within about
3 days of the source release of 1.4 ...

Most of which are provided (I meant to build wxMozilla but didn't get to
it ...). Anyway, if 1% of the users (and that's optimistic) are going to
be building and hosting mozilla-related packages, I am sure they can
download the 3MB -devel package.

Instead of the -devel package, maybe there are other *real* applications
that users, who have no idea how to compile gecko apps, will be able to use.

Of course, mozilla is one of those packages that gets out-of-date pretty
quickly, so in 3 weeks time you aren't going to want the -devel package
from 1.4 any more ...
