Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the calling-it-quits dept.

batb0y writes "The Mozilla Foundation has published its Mozilla Application Suite transition plan, confirming that there will be no official Mozilla 1.8 release. There will be a 1.7.6 release to be maintained by the Mozilla Foundation. All future suite versions from the Foundation will be minor updates only." Don't despair, however, as there is already a community effort underway to continue development.

    That doesn't sound like a developer's list, that sounds like a post on alt.sex.zoophilia.

    Can someone please tie this into a Google conspiracy for me? I don't understand /. articles unless they somehow involve Google taking over the world.
