It is really annoying that Mozilla is restricting fixes for fairly
serious issues via their trademark guidelines.  Their effort to protect
their brand has to balanced against downstream needs.  It is
unacceptable for them to tie down our hands if they are not going to do
a release soon.   It is very much possible that a bug might affect a
particular distribution only (even without patches) because of the rest
of the stack it is build against and Mozilla has to be responsive to all
that.
