You know, you are more than welcome to contribute an ebuild for the new firefox |
| 14 |
rather than bitching that we're too slow. As for why we're so slow (as you put |
| 15 |
it...didn't the new version just come out yesterday?), the primary maintainer |
| 16 |
for all of the Mozilla stuff (firefox, mozilla, seamonkey, thunderbird, etc.) |
| 17 |
quit about 2 weeks ago. We've been trying to find someone to step up and take |
| 18 |
permanent maintainership, but until then, the "backup maintainers" are busy |
| 19 |
people and will get to it when they have time. |
