I think the SeaMonkey developers should base the next version on Gecko
45 ESR (which would have been SM 2.42), call it SM 2.45 and bring it up
to date with the Firefox ESR security and stability releases. I think
that would make it currently SM 2.45.3.0.
Notwithstanding SM's limited resource pool, I don't get why a similar
proposal wasn't taken to heart long long ago.
Because its no good. The codebase currently isn't the problem. There are
a few minor problems in the tree caused by Mozilla changes like unable
to set a default search provider. But these all have workarounds. The
real problem is with building and distributing an update thru official
mozilla servers. If this would work for ESR it would also work for 2.45
or 2.46 next week. Ewong is on it but it might be some time till we see
a release.
In the mean time if you need a new release grab 2.45 from Adrian if you
are on Windows or Linux. His releases are build from the original
sources and bug reports against them are accepted:

2.47a2 is also stable at the moment but I would recommend 2.45 or 2.46.
Make sure you use a build after 09/02 because I goofed and earlier ones
didn't always show the favicon correctly (ok minor problem you might not
even notice...).
