This is your subjective opinion, on which it's not necessarily a good idea to base a packaging decision. Since the stable Moz 1.2 will be out in short order anyway, packaging a beta is a waste of Frederic's time, of which he has a limited amount. > Besides, can't the testing/problems/bugfixes that Cooker users can > provide be of use to Mozilla.org anyway??

As the post you are responding to perfectly correctly explained, the purpose of Cooker is to develop Mandrake. Decisions on what to put in Cooker are based solely on the basis of what will best benefit the creation of the next version of Mandrake, and that's exactly as it should be. It's not Mandrake's job to test Mozilla. -- adamw
