If this is how ya feel back port the damn patches. I do not have time to
back port patches for every security issues that remains. I have fought
to keep security from masking it before now. Maybe you would feel better
taking over mozilla/seamonkey/gecko-sdk? If all the bug mail over the
last week is not enough to move the tree to were it should be already
for seamonkey as I have requested, then the responsibility does fall on
package maintainer.
For those who are unaware just follow all the blockers you will end up
at security were there has been comments about back porting patches but
you have not seen solar make any mention of who/when will or has the
time to do the back porting.
