Part of the reason for that is that because of the change in toolkits,
it was decided that the best course (safer) would be *not* to install
over the older version. So, keeping it on C:\Program
Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey was out.

Of course, it would be possible to use C:\Program
Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey2. But the other thing is, Seamonkey is not
really a Mozilla Foundation project. The old Mozilla Application Suite
was, Seamonkey is not. Seamonkey is a "community" project or whatever is
the jargon nowadays.

And then, not even mozilla.org's flagship, Firefox, uses the C:\Program
Files\mozilla.org\ folder anymore. It was kinda funny that the one piece
of software to use the mozilla.org folder wasn't a project of the MoFo...

Going forward, the change is probably for the best. New users looking
for the application folder are more likely to look for the program's
name than for mozilla.org.
