    His answers can be summarized as: "It's extremely difficult for me to generalize here." If his blog were a /. post it would get modded -1, Redundant, there is nothing in his answers that people did not know before, he just explained he can't explain how they decide.

      No particular group, IMO. The Mozilla Suite will remain for those who prefer it over Firefox, but as for marketing, there was very little marketing by the Mozilla Foundation, and that's unlikely to change.

      However, as he said,
      "I believe that there will continue to be trunk based releases of the Mozilla application suite because there are members of the community who want it to continue and will contribute the resources to make that happen."

      For many Mozicianados aficionados, Firefox will never fully replace the experience of Seamonkey. Firefox was targeted primarily at IE users anyway.
