This is partly because XUL is not frozen yet, and keeps changing. Still, there must be easily a dozen themes on x.themes.org (when it works), and Netscape has written three.
There was a bug that broke it, but it got fixed recently. I campaigned to have that line taken out, but you (IIRC) were fighting to keep it!

Dude, do me a favour. Before you update your build, find some way of crashing it, OK? Then send in the Talkback data. That way, our recorded MTBF goes up.;-)

Anyway, I still think it's a bad thing to not release binaries and sources at the same time. All other OpenSource projects do that.
So you want the build engineers to work until midnight Friday night? Have some patience, dude:-) It'll be up on Monday.

You know Mozilla doesn't come with Java by default, right? If you install it, it uses the latest version, JRE 1.31_01. If it doesn't work, blame Sun;-)

why use CVS for Mozilla when you can't update the sources without checking out all modified files ?
Er... what other way is there of updating the sources apart from getting all the modified files?
You can cvs update in most subdirectories of mozilla/ and that'll work.

Can't we geeks have at least ONE fucking browser for ourselves?
What you mean is: "Waah! Why won't someone write the browser _I_ want?"
You're a geek. Go do a Mozilla distribution for geeks. Add in all the patches like gestures and PGP. Do a new, cool skin. People will love it. That's what the code is for. mozilla.org wants to see that happen.
Or quit whining.

The source tarball normally lags behind by a few days. You can either pull it from CVS (tag: MOZILLA_0_9_5_BRANCH) or be patient:-)
Let me know when it compiles out of the box on OpenBSD
It'll do that when you, or someone else who runs OpenBSD, start submitting patches to make it do so. If you don't care, why should non-OpenBSD users care to make it run on your platform for you?
It already compiles out of the box on Linux, MacOS 9, MacOS X, Windows, OS/2, Solaris, HP-UX, OSF1, VMS, Linux/ppc, BeOS and BSD/OS (whichever BSD that is.). See here.
I'm sure more than one of those bugs will allow arbitrary file execution
Is that just FUD, or can you back it up? Why don't you say this about any other browser?
Yes, and TLS. And it has done so for months. The only time you don't get it is if you are silly enough to uncheck it in the installer.

Seems like OS X is constantly a late release, if it gets released at all.
That's because there are about five people on the planet capable of building Mozilla for OS X, and they are all very busy:-) Part of the reason is that it requires an experimental, pre-release version of Apple's gcc-based compiler.
