Alright, when I posted this this morning I had a lot of stuff to do so I didn't have a chance to look deeper into Mozilla's site for answers.
Now I did.
According to the development <a href="http://mozilla.org/roadmap.html">roadmap</a> which I remember having read before, they plan to:
Quote:
# Focus development efforts on the new standalone applications: the browser currently code-named Mozilla Firebird, the Mozilla Thunderbird mail/news application, and standalone composer and other apps based on the the new XUL toolkit used by Firebird and Thunderbird. We aim to make Mozilla Firebird and Thunderbird our premier products.
|
Now, this is what I remember having read before. What I either missed, or was not there when I first read it was the point after that:
Quote:
# Updated: Maintain the SeaMonkey application suite, currently built by default, for enterprises and other organizations with large existing Mozilla deployments. SeaMonkey remains an important product for many customers.
|
So I guess that's the answer. (In case you don't know, Seamonkey is the name for the Mozilla Suite just like Firebird is the name for Mozilla Browser.) Now if I could only find the justification for the fact that I think Firebird has been at 0.7 since Seamonkey 1.4. THAT I still don't udnerstand.
