We've got lots of end user feedback. It's an open project with thousands
of our end users (developers, qa and testing community, distributors,
open source power users) participating in the process from the very
beginning.
If it's Netscape's end users that your concerned about or Beonex's end
users or RedHat's end users or ActiveState's end users or Ximian's end
users or Intel's end users or HP's end users or Nokia's end users or
IBM's end users or Bloomberg's end users or ForumZilla's end users or
Jabberzilla's end users or OEOne's end users or Aphrodite's end users or
Galeon's end users then talk to them about what they need for their
particular distribution/product to satisfy their end users and that will
be (and has in been) fed back into Mozilla (through Bugzilla and other
channels).
I propose a source only release of 1.0 for the Mozilla end users.
(Mozilla provides binary releases, nightly and Milestone [1.0 is a
Milestone], for testing and development purposes.)
