Much as it would be nice, the release engineers _have_ to draw a line
in the ground at some point - otherwise FreeBSD 4.8 will never ship.
This week it's Mozilla-1.3.  Next week it'll be a new release of some
other widely used tool.  And the week after, there'll be something
else.  And no doubt something major will be released the day after the
CD's are pressed.  I was actually fairly surprised that the release
was slipped to allow XFree-4.3.

Keep in mind that it's not just Mozilla itself, there are all the ports
that depend on it.  These all need to be tested to ensure that nothing
gets broken by the upgrade.
