That would be my favourite. I use Conkeror (which is a XULRunner application and hence depends on xulrunner) with 3.6 since it is in experimental and it works without problems since a year or so. Ubuntu has the Debian package with just slight modification of some defaults together with xulrunner-1.9.2 in Lucid 10.04 LTS. They just had to backport a few upstream fixes. OTOH since my upstream announced 4.0 compatibility a lot has changed in 4.0 (sic!) and the last time I tried it, it seemed to make quite some problems. Will check again the current state of the packages in the mozilla.d.n repo (and later experimental). > Cons: More work for reverse dependencies, which would be made to build > and work with 3.6 and then again with 4.0 in a few weeks. No problem for me. In the contrary, I'd be glad if 4.0 doesn't hit unstable immediately. > - Keep things the way they are (3.5 in unstable, 3.6 in experimental, > 4.0 betas on mozilla.debian.net), and upload 4.0 to unstable once it's > released.

I think 3.6 should go to unstable and replace 3.5 as soon as poosible, so these options look like heading backwards. > Cons: We lose version 3.6, which has several advantages over 3.5, and > keep 3.5, which is already very outdated. Right. That's why I want to see 3.6 in unstable as soon as possible independently of the state of 4.0.
