Firefox missed its first deadline in its new six week release schedule by a couple weeks -- and the Mozilla Foundation was *not* suggesting it would be "somewhere around" six weeks. In fact, I wish open source developers would adhere to hard and fast schedules less, and focus more on the quality of what they release. FreeBSD is better about this than many other high-profile projects I could name. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --vkogqOf2sHV7VnPd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk5XsDoACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKWmmwCgiU8zyGxqTUAtD76VPUnUq+Az 3ccAoMIgSGIXnppQqutoLekqcfLJRqd3 =35Ma -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --vkogqOf2sHV7VnPd--
