yes yes... I'm aware of that, but Mozilla.org is not exactly "on time" 
with there releases. Hopefully they have changed, but they have no track 
record of releasing on time. 1.0 was late, but good. I suspect the same 
with 1.1, late but good. The problem is 1.1 isn't ready yet, and the 
"ideal release" date has come and gone. If they are "on time" just like 
like thier other releases (1.1 alpha nad beta) we can expect thier 1.1 
final in 3 days. That's fine., but leavs little time for testing for 
mandrake and us.

It really wouldn't worry me at all except the last Mandrake releases 
have been "final" without any warning and I don't want to come in monday 
morning with a "Mandrake 9.0 Fianl Released" (as happened with Mandrake 
8.2) with a bunch of stuff broke - like an "almost final" version of 
mozilla.

So if you know 9.0 Final is going to wait for the mozilla folk to cut 
final... great. Otherwise.... the beta/cvs-snapshot isn't cutting it.
