It was ok to ship a "beta" release of thunderbird but updates shouldn't

Precisely. F11 is supposed to be a stable release. The sudden
appearance of both smart folders and indexing was unexpected,
disruptive and IMO did not achieve the desired quality level for a
Fedora stable release upgrade.
ACK, but ...

... to me, in this context "stable" should also imply "sufficently
"functional" rsp. "near release quality". From my experiences with the
thunderbird-3*betas in F11, this does not apply to any of the
thunderbird we had in F11 [1].
The new search features are very cool, we should be happy someone uses
the time to give us all this cool new features.
Well, "coolness" is relative - It's a "feature", I have never missed or
been waiting for :-)

[1] I have been (and still am) facing: Corrupted (imap) mail-indices,
mal-formated subject lines, being unable to send non-base64 encoded
attachments, sth. occasionally producing duplicate mails and several
other nuisances (e.g. one core dump at average per day).
New with 3*b4: A significant slowdown, seemingly due to indexing at
startup, "compacting folders" triggers warnings in deep imap-folders
(used to work with older thunderbirds and still works with evolution).
