Like I said, you obviously don't follow Mozilla development. Please
give up on this ranting. Please look at the roadmap again, and read the
manifesto, and the release announcements, and the mailing lists.
1.0.1 RC's are already on the FTP site. Netscape 7 was released one
week ago, so judging by past performance, 1.0.1 will be released in
about a week. The 1.0 branch drivers are also the Netscape 7.x drivers,
and they normally take things easy for a week or so after a major
release, then get back to work. Once 1.0.1 is released it will normally
take 24 hours before the source is posted.
The 1.0 branch is like FreeBSD's -STABLE branch, and their trunk is like
-CURRENT. 1.1 is equivalent to 5.0-DP1. The nightly builds are like
our snapshots. The chosen port names are correct.
Just because 1.1 happens to be a better browser than 1.0 is just how
things are. 1.2 might break compatibility with all of your plugins.
Things when't on like this all though the M's and 0.9.x releases. One
release would be good, another completely buggy, and another would break
all of the port's which depend on Mozilla. These ports will now follow
1.0.x, probably for the next year. (Well except the Gnome linked ports,
because they always try to use bleeding edge code in Gnome...)
Regards,
-Jeremy
