Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Icecat maintainer position questions

By 21, many nice features were added:

JS PDF viewer,
Killing hanging plugins,
Buttonized download manager (personal fave),
Better scaling algo for images,
Few dozen critical vulns plugged.

I agree with RMS: there is no point upgrading every time, just because
Mozilla did. But it looks like v. 22 is significantly ahead of 17, both
in useful features and in security, so I've been waiting for an update
for a while now.

Is packaging hard? I may be able to volunteer some of my time to help,
while Loic is probably busy with making freedom- and privacy-related
changes.
