Sunset Announcement for Fx/Tb 1.0.x and Mozilla Suite 1.7.x -- what does it mean to sarge?
mozilla developer center announced 'sunset' for mozilla 1.7.x and
Firefox 1.0.x etc. ie. these won't be supported by mozilla any more.

What does this mean for mozilla, firefox and thunderbird in *sarge*?
Assuming there are vulnerablities discovered, will sarge (silently) move
to Firefox 1.5.x etc or will all problems be backported?
I just guess it'll be rather hard to backport any security issues to
sarge, when the upstream version doesn't exist any more.
What was the conclusion from
http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2005/07/msg00315.html
On stable workstations what is better:
- use seldomly fixed mozilla* from stable
- risk upgrade problems and use mozilla* from backports.org
Just curious.
