This is true.  We're going with seamonkey in RHEL.  I think this current
round of issues is proof as to why this has to happen.  Backporting to the
firefox 1.0 branch is nearly impossible given the drastic changes between
versions.

Right now we're furiously working on backporting patches for the most
critical issues.  If you want to help mail Chris Aillon (caillon@redhat)
with your request.  He's currently heading up a small group of various
distributors trying to get all this work done.
