I believe Joe already answered that :)  'Until 5.0-RELEASE comes out...'
When the ports tree was first tagged for 5.0-RELEASE on January 3rd, the
portmgr team announced a partial thaw, but asked that large and
important collections of ports not be updated until 5.0-RELEASE is
*really* out.  Apparently Joe considers Mozilla and the related ports to
be such large and important collections, especially if the Mozilla
update depends on updates to various other Gtk and GNOME ports - in the
thaw announcement, the portmgr team explicitly mentioned KDE and GNOME
as examples of groups of ports that should not really be updated unless
absolutely necessary.

So... unfortunately, it seems that Mozilla-1.2.1 does not have much
chance of making it into 5.0-RELEASE, but it will be available very
shortly afterwards.

Of course, take all of this with a big lump of salt: I am not on either
the portmgr or the freebsd-gnome teams, merely expressing my reading of
Joe's and portmgr's announcements :)

G'luck,
Peter
