That said, I think that current SeaMonkey 2.0b1pre nightlies are almost as stable as 1.1.x but significantly better not only in functionality but also is compatibility with today's operating systems. I think it's definitely worth to put that code into Factory.
Will we see releases of SeaMonkey and Thunderbird in time for 11.2? In that case, I agree with moving forward,
Two months ago I would have said "we'll surely make August" for both. With the recent pushing out of things I'm not completely sure. As we very probably will stop maintaining Thunderbird 2.x and SeaMonkey 1.x well before the maintenance period of 11.2 ends, and given the stability that testers of development builds are seeing in current Thunderbird 3.0 and SeaMonkey 2.0 pre-releases I think it would even be better to ship betas of them with 11.2 than so-called "stable" versions of the old series. It's unfortunate that we don't have finals of the new versions right now, then this would be very much easier, that's for sure.
Coolo's call in this case - and I support the proposal to go to the new versions and ship them even as betas if needed (and consider updating them via online update after release). But this is quite an exception!
