OK, so now I don't understand.
Are you saying that you haven't uploaded mozilla because it's a
complex packagin job, and you haven't finished? If so, fair enough.
Or are you saying that you haven't uploaded it because it can't go to
main, and you don't want to put it in non-US? If that's the case, then
I think a solution is warranted: that doesn't sound like a problem
which is going to go away. Perhaps it should be discussed here.
