In my opinion including software that even upstream says is not ready is
for a distribution that's "lost their way".  We can still be a leading
distribution and not include pre-release software.  Especially pre-release
software that's not only in our critical path, but also something that
almost all of us use every day.  Maybe as firefox4 available in
updates-testing, but certainly not a core default package.

I think what people are missing is that even though our release is
scheduled for late October.  The feature freeze was _yesterday_.  meaning
that firefox would need to have been ready for use yesterday.  Not in
October when it might maybe be ready.

There's a difference between making people use new software and making
them use half-baked software.  Lets not be the half-baked distro.
