Actually, Mozilla is trying to work with commercial users to find
solutions that work for them while allowing us to ship progress rapidly.
At least for Firefox, that is.

The number of people using IE6 should be a hint that many people are not
screaming to get the latest thing, but they are worried about security, just not
enough to start over with every bug.
Fedora Linux pushes a feature release every six months and security fixes as
needed for a year. So users get problems solved but don't wait too long to get
something needed, but don't have to retrain eight times a year.
Getting something out that fast keeps developers busy getting small stuff ready
to release, and doing big stuff against a quicksand code base. After decades of
developing software and doing system administration I am pretty sure that will
actually slow the release of working major things. Or result in a series of
bug-ridden releases users will find unproductive.
I wish you luck, but I don't think it's going to be a nice ride.

We are not out of the woods yet, but we know the direction and have
taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if
we persevere we will reach our destination. -me, 2010
