I do not see the value in manually checking koji for Firefox updates
and then manually downloading and installing them. That's just not
going to happen by pretty much anybody. I have u-t enabled, I do
testing, this update is not in u-t yet.

If I knew Mozilla's Linux binaries provided its own update mechanism
and notification, yes I would do exactly that. And I'd still ask what
the benefit is of duplicating this effort? It sounds like it's not
actually a benefit, rather it's "because packaging".
