To site one example, I now have Thunderbird 3.1.20 on Windows but F14 is 3.1.19 and

Am I reading this situation correctly?
The situation is as it should be. You will *not* be getting any updates to *any*
packages for F14 which are in the "Fedora Repositories".
The "Firefox" and "Thunderbird" maintainers take what is released by Mozilla and
package if for "Fedora" (they roll in all the language support, for instance) and
place it in the "Fedora Repositories" to be updated by yum or whatever you use to
update your system.
They have stopped doing that for F14.
Time to update to F16 or time to install your FF and TB directly from Mozilla. I do
that on one of my RHEL systems and get notified of new updates.
Ed:
Thanks for the confirm about what I thought. Its an interesting bind
that Thunderbird and Firefox can be part of a Fedora release and, once
that release is EOL, any changes aren't picked up (as in Abode Flash).
Yes, I am wanting to upgrade and the Maya window is finite, so I'll do
mail/browsing on Windows until the beta program is over and/or the
Mozilla kill date in April shows up.
