Because older versions are still valuable to the vast majority of users. Keeping up with upstream is *one* of the many responsibilities of a Debian Maintainer. > People want a recent release in a web browser, especially in > Sid! The are a *vast* number of things that go into a Debian release that have nothing to do with upstream's schedule. Sid is a staging ground for packages meant for release, not just upstream's tarball compiled and thrown into a deb. (Although, that may very well be what you are getting out of a PPA or OBS.) Web browsers don't need updating any more often that any other piece of software. I'm using IceWeasel from backports and Konqueror from testing, and they serve their purpose quite well. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
