That's fine. Mozilla isn't for the regular users. Regular users should 
be looking for Mozilla distributions like Netscape 6.x, Beonex 
Communicator, HallZilla, etc.  Mozilla.org provided binaries for testing 
and development purposes. It's fine with me if users go with Netscape 
6.x instead of Mozilla because they consider 6.x to be newer and better 
than 1.0.  A Netscape release gets the user agent out there just as well 
(maybe even better with commercial support and additional features like 
IM) as a Mozilla binary :)
