Who the hell are you to decide what's right and what's wrong?
You can have your opinion on "the right thing to do", but DO NOT force it
to other people.
I'm getting sick of you. Why do you try to defend someone that a) is doing
a lousy job, according to the opinion of many fellow developers and
users, and b) does not give any information at all about what he's doing
with his package?
If Myth is actually actively developing his package, let him inform us
about his intentions. There's nothing wrong with waiting for an upload if
you have good reasons (although in this case, as I pointed out in a
previous mail, I don't believe there's space for "good reasons to wait"),
but if you don't inform people about those reasons, people tend to become
frustrated if the "current" package sucks. And to be honest: it looks as
though the current mozilla package sucks.
If he doesn't want to outline his intensions in this thread, let him setup
a page at people.debian.org. If he doesn't want that either, let him
invent another option, but PLEASE, MYTH, tell us WHAT you're doing.
