1 May I also mention Thunderbird as one of the "Mozilla products" that
2 needs some attention? I recently set up a non-~x86 system for someone,
3 using thunderbird-bin, and discovered that he got 0.5, rather than 0.7.1
4 (which I have on my ~x86 system). Today I emerge sync'ed, and notice
5 that 0.5 doesn't exist at all any more - and everything higher is ~x86.
6 mozilla-thunderbird (non-bin) is x86 for 0.6-r2, everything more
7 recent is ~x86.

9 Seeing as this is a -bin package, it seems even less reasonable than
10 normal that no x86 ebuild exists in portage, and that the latest x86
11 ebuild (prior to being deleted) was quite old to begin with.
