My opinion expressed when you asked this in November hasn't changed materially. This .0 release has some surprises a lot of people won't like, and they will wish for an RPM option to get the baby they loved back, letting others suffer through the .0 sickness. Off hand I can't think of a single thing about 4.0betas that make it better than 3.6.x.
For those familiar with web design who aren't aware, pt, cm, in and other absolute units of measure are no longer absolute units in Gecko 2.0. e.g., pt is now fixed at a 3/4 ratio to a CSS px, meaning there are new hoops to jump through to get onscreen measurements to be accurate. Those who need accuracy must use a new proprietary unit, the mozmm.

That means that we would end up having Firefox 4 beta 11 for the GA
version of 11.4. This is probably the last beta before they are starting
to do RCs.
I want to raise the question if we would like to do that or reverting
back to Firefox 3.6.13?
