Hmm, okay.

I was only aware of the October 26 release date before now.

Anyway, here's the Firefox 4 milestone list:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/4/Beta#Milestones

October 15 is when they go into total freeze and produce release candidates
and then the final release.

Fedora composes the Final on October 12, but that assumes that we're not
going to slip one or two weeks as we have for every release of Fedora for
the last couple years. If we slip, and Mozilla pushes out the GA before
Final is composed, that could be slipped in.

Either way, we could still squeeze in a Firefox 4 Beta and push out the
final or an RC as a post install update. Then later Fedora Unity will
generate a spin that will include Firefox 4 GA.

We've never had problems with including Firefox betas before, so why now?
Fedora is the premier distro for getting the latest and greatest software,
not just the stuff that everyone else has. It is why I use Fedora over
Ubuntu or some other distro.
