Official answers from Red Hat are needed to be done through your Red Hat Support contract. Having Red Hat people give out answers on mailling lists just leads to confusion when it does not happen as said. With the fact that Firefox 3.5 is currently going through growing pains as various hackers figure out all the vulnerable parts.. (the source code seems quite different between 3.0 and 3.5 with all the internalized ogg and other bits) I personally would not expect any 3.5 release to be ready til late Fall. If you are looking for a more firm answer ask via your support contract. -- Stephen J Smoogen. Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp.
