Package: mozilla Severity: serious Mozilla applications are known to require a lot of maintainance, and this is particularly true for the huge Mozilla suite. The 6 Mozilla updates since Sarge's release should show that, each fixing an average of about 10 security vulnerabilities that got CVE IDs assigned. The difficulty of keeping Mozilla secure is expected to increase largely due to the end of upstream support, already effective. Considering the security track up to now in Sarge, and the important security drop expected, even if the grave bugs currently opened against Mozilla suite are resolved, the suite will most likely get to a point where it will be better to remove it from stable Etch than keeping it, which is not desirable. Instead, as there are alternatives to the Mozilla suite, packages depending on Mozilla should find alternatives or be removed, and then the Mozilla suite should be removed before Etch's release.
