Hello all,
Yesterday was an important milestone for Firefox OS, according to:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/B2G_Landing#Versions_and_Scheduling
including:
* my handset's operating system reaching 'End-of-life'
* v1.3.0 reaching 'code freeze'
* v1.4.0 reaching 'functional complete'
although it might be that this wiki page is irrelevant.
Over the last two decades, my experience in the world of free software
has been that projects reaching important milestones put out
announcements to the affected communities about the status of things,
the plans, and other relevant information through which developers,
users, document writers, the press, and the interested public can remain
informed about the project. Similar milestones have come and gone since
November without such announcements.
Could someone in the know please explain what is going on?
Thank you.

P.S. Answers to some of the following questions would be useful:
Does Firefox OS ever actually declare a 'release'? Did any version hit
'release' yesterday? What is meant by the next section
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/B2G_Landing#Rough_Update_Graph
when it talks about '1.2 release'?
Did FfOS 1.1 reach 'end-of-life' yesterday and what does that actually
mean? Are people buying telephones in Uruguay today vulnerable from here
on out to all security flaws discovered in the OS and in the browser? Is
the rumor that there will never be any over-the-air updates to handsets
here true?
Did Firefox 1.3 reach 'code-freeze' yesterday? What is the status of the
code base at code freeze? Did the schedule slip successfully address the
issues which caused the slip?
Did Firefox OS 1.4 reach 'functional complete' yesterday? Was the
planned functionality completely written?
