I know this mostly depends on what is/will be done upstream, but with the recent announcement that Firefox 1.5.X will only receive updates until April 24, 2007, is Firefox 2.X in CentOS' future?

As of beta 2 the answer seems to be "no":

[dave@fold ~]# rpm -q firefox
firefox-1.5.0.8-1.el5.centos.1
[dave@fold ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 4.92 (Beta)

This was discussed extensively on the fedora list. Red Hat will continue to provide updates to Firefox 1.5 as per their support agreement for RHEL. RH *may* choose to upgrade RHEL 5 to Firefox 2.0 but whatever version is the official version will be supported as long as the RHEL release is supported.

Cheers,
Dave
