I've been using seamonkey for a few weeks now without problems and am
pleased with it but I don't believe a word you say about having no
choice or devs having the option to fix stuff. You always had the
option of porting patches. You always have options! You have held back
taking the seadonkey out of p.masking till the very last min then
forced an un-smooth upgrade path on everybody. Please don't shift the
blame on others.. We have ~arch and blockers for stuff like this...
Please don't take this as a personal attack... I'm just calling shit as
I see it.
