Well there you have it... real end users don't upgrade their version every
night, not every week, not even every month. When Netscape releases a new
browser version it usually takes about nine months to a year before more
people are using the new version than the previous version.
6.0 itself took too long, but since then Netscape has been releasing
versions about as fast as end users can adopt them. Your remarks above about
nightly changes indicate that you are an avid "early adopter", the kind of
folk mozilla.org releases *are* aimed at.

The browser suite itself is designed with end-users in mind--clearly it must
be if Netscape can release it to the public with the slightest of
changes--but that doesn't mean mozilla.org releases are for end-users.
mozilla.org is largely unconcerned with what specific features each release
contains; what features get built and when is up to the folks who write the
code, and that isn't [EMAIL PROTECTED]
