I want to merge all this in the gnuzilla project to get a single
upstream. That's why I contacted you at first and thats why I (and
others) communicated it on various lists that this project will
eventually become our upstream (which would explain at least a bit of
the surge in interest). Anyway, debian has freeze soon and we cannot
wait nor get the gnuzilla apps in a releasable state before. That's
why we have to go on our own until after the release.

The timing is unfortunate, but I hope you understand.

I already mentioned this before, but maybe you missed it.
