The real reason to bring up the issue is to make it so the decision on version has as much knowledge about problems as possible. We may want to use the 1.9 series and not have the extra issues of cpu cycles being consumed by seamonkey that shouldn't be. We may just want to set the seamonkey 2 homepage on the cd to a page linking to the local copy of the book and letting people know the issue and workaround. The 1.9 security issues aren't a significant issue for a read only os like a livecd. since it doesn't contain data that someone would be concerned about keeping confidential, nor does the cd contain many of the "most commonly used" gui applications. these are the things that need to be figured out and agreed on before working on the cd and the seamonkey included on it.
