Agreed. There's nothing I can do to prevent unsupportable packages being
uploaded before FF. That doesn't mean I think it's a good idea.
In Gutsy we have a firefox-3.0 package in the release pocket that is
obsolete, vulnerable, and cannot be removed. I've spoken to jdong about
the one in gutsy-backports and he agreed to update it or have it removed
(unlike -release, -backports can be removed).
While there may be a few exceptions, the general consensus from MOTU is
that we cannot maintain this package due to the way it is licensed, so I
believe motu-release is supporting the team consensus here.
It is possible intrepid-backports can be available at release time. That
may be a better place for this package. It wouldn't have the same support
requirements since it could be removed when no longer needed. The
requirement to only backport from the development release can be waived if
needed.
