The issue is that it already provides Firefox 3, in Beta form...

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.2 (Tikanga)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ rpm -qi firefox | head -n3
Name        : firefox                      Relocations: (not
relocatable)
Version     : 3.0                               Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
Release     : 0.beta5.6.el5                 Build Date: Mon 28 Apr 2008
10:40:07 BST

I think Ben's question was how long will it take Red Hat to go from
beta5 to release? (Fedora 9 went to the release at some point before I
woke up today)
