And 1.5, being just released, has not yet been blessed as the 'vendor' branch. Am I right? So, assuming I'm right, I guess that we (you?) should wait for the mozilla people to bless 1.5 as a 'vendor' branch. If this has not yet happened (and until this happens) perhaps it is ok to have a port of 1.4 as the mozilla-vendor branch. But then if other mozilla-based ports (firebird et al) are also updated, perhaps there is no need for it. And then we are at the beginning of this thread again :) Sorry for not being more useful. I suppose that the maintainers of mozilla-based ports are the ones who should raised their voices now.
