Well, even some developers (like me) agree with the above statement, but to be 
blunt: That doesn't matter. SM releases depend on the Mozilla platform, which 
is where the vast majority of security issues is to be found (since it includes 
the rendering engine, protocol stack etc.). The maintainers of that (= Mozilla 
a.k.a. Firefox, Inc.) decided to switch to the rapid release train and drop 
minor releases. The SM developers do not have the man-power to maintain a fork 
or even branch of the platform, so there is no choice but to jump the train. 
All we can do is try and improve our QA and what we include on our side of the 
code base in the first place.

Thank you for your frank, candid and honest response, Jens :
much appreciated.
