Well it also matters to know that Firefox did the same mechanical difference, due to their ends resources around the holiday, incase there is an issue that would be deemed critical to users (necessary of a chemspill) when they are unable to have the manpower to fix it fast enough. Having less users have the update makes it less time-critical, and less 'really weird' interactions with the core product. I will be turning it back on within the next few days, and this holiday coupled with Firefox's choice here is why I chose to do it. I acknowledge that not everyone approves of the choice, but I felt it the lesser of two evils. (the other evil being exposing all SeaMonkey users to a potential major issue that Firefox is either not yet aware of or not yet able to address as fast).
Fair enough. I have commented before on my view of the Firefox "Frequent release" schedule, and reiterating that point here, relevant though it clearly is, would almost certainly accomplish nothing.
