Just wondering if all of SeaMonkey's stability and security update processes

It has been said elsewhere here already, but my answer(s).
Mozilla (The Company) does not support/code-for/etc. SeaMonkey. (They do
provide server/hosting for us though)
The Mozilla Community (us) however, do support SeaMonkey, and we intend
to continue to follow the release cycle for Firefox proper at this time.
While we do currently depend on much of the same code as is present in
Thunderbird, and have our own limited resources, we do not see a
situation in the near future that would cause us to abandon or desupport
the Mail side of our codebase, even if Thunderbird was dropped by
Mozilla fully, this year.
So, while the future is quite uncertain in an all-volunteer developer
base, I do not see any signs of us stopping releases on the horizon.
I, for one, even though having had some harsh criticisms of Mozilla in
the past, am a huge fan of the SeaMonkey team/project. I'm a loyal user
and supporter. All of the SeaMonkey team members deserve a huge pat on
the back and whatever support we users can give.
Justin, if you can tell us how we can support your team's efforts I, for
one, will do what I can.
