 Second, when we criticize Firefox, we should perhaps
 also mention the version number.  The 1.5s are dogs.
  Firefox 2.0 is now included in 54+.

If snv_54 is the one that integrated Vermillion, then that's the Firefox I've 
in the meantime learned to *love to hate*.

It's a really crappy cobbled-together web browser, especially when compared to 
Mozilla. The fact that everything feels so cumbersome to a Mozilla user, and 
that, although the engine is the same, the UI is quite different don't help 
Firefox's case either.

I guess backward compatibility wasn't a consideration.

You need to go into about:config to change the UIs to suit your taste (e.g., 
the way tabs are closed, etc.)

 Who else is interested?
 Thoughts?
 
If this question were asked a year ago, I would have raised my both hands.  But 
things have changed a lot.  It took me a while to get used to not using the Moz 
suite, but now I don't even install Seamonkey in my Linux partitions.

Second, when we criticize Firefox, we should perhaps also mention the version 
number.  The 1.5s are dogs.  Firefox 2.0 is now included in 54+.

Third, and the most important IMO, Thunderbird/Lightening is now in the 
OpenOffice.org 2.0 roadmap.  Unless someone can find a way to also do the same 
arrangement for Seamonkey, this is a temptation--though as great as it still 
sounds--that should be avoided.  

 p.s. The SUNWqemu packages are slightly delayed (due
 to a spontanous
 travel), but are in the works.
 Literally and in this minute.
 PLease expect them tomorrow evening or something.

Will the accelerator be a part of the SUNWqemu packages?  Thanks  Looking 
forward to it.

Aha, I didn't yet come to upgrading any box to b54.
Sounds really interesting what I have heard about it so far  (i.e.
Studio compilers now included by default ??)
However, the fact alone, that FF2.0 may indeed be a quantum leap over
FF1.x (which I do appreciate) does not change much in terms of the
conceptual design differences between FF(separate apps) --
SeaMonkey(Monolithic Complete Suite).
I understand, that SUNW has to decide and operate economically  (in
reagards of what should['nt] be included/maintained/shipped).
I also see now, that www.opensolaris.org is certainly the wrong place
for a total userland project such as SeaMonkey.
My personal response is this:  For now pkg-get CSWseamonkey.
Later this year  (Q2/Q3 2007) anyone (users of Solaris 10++ [sparc and
x86/64]) will additionally have the alternative to use the then
available MRTX packages, including MRTXseamonkey.

Third, and the most important IMO, Thunderbird/Lightening is now in the 
OpenOffice.org 2.0 roadmap.  Unless someone can find a way to also do the 
same arrangement for Seamonkey, this is a temptation--though as great as it 
still sounds--that should be avoided.

The existing kqemu wrapper module for i386 and x64 - ported and
maintained by Eric Lowe - will continue to work on Nevada hosts  (not
properly on Solaris 10 / though I'm not sure about U3).
So the answer is yes.

The kqemu module itself is IP of Fabrice Bellard.
Not sure if I can integrate it into the pkgs, probably NOT.

The wrapper module will continue to be available on
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/qemu/downloads/
