Yeah, and still firfox gets updated mid release whenever new major
release is out (I wonder when it last broke gxine build, not to
mention it actually working :()...
I agree the Firefox development model and versioning scheme is broken,
but that doesn't mean that we have to break other stuff, too. ;)

*cough-cough* What about the xfce-4.10 repo?
As it isn't an official repo anyway, the update policy does not apply.

Seems sane to me to do the 0-day update, definitely better than having
to support 1.4 till F18 EOL ourselves.
Right. Note that this always is a problem, the Xfce and Fedora
development cycles don't go together well and we either have to ship a
development version at the beginning or support an outdated one
later. :( 1.6 should buy us some time here.
Kind regards,
