Mozilla 1.0 isn't finished yet that's true, but the "final" NN 6 release=20
did ship 2 days ago... it's not a new prerelease version, this is=20
"it"!  Another dumb move by the Netscape folks?   I think so.  People have=
=20
waited this long already, they could have waited another 2-3 months (or a=20
little more) so that the Mozilla team ironed out the last bugs in Gecko=20
before shipping another buggy "finished" browser.  It's history repeating=20
itself with Netscape.  The final NN6 release is based on what's considered=
=20
to be Mozilla M18.5 but the Mozilla project's team will continue working=20
and releasing Milestones as they progress.  The NN 4 fiasco has proven that=
=20
Netscape doesn't mind releasing almost 20 incremental updates to one major=
=20
version number...  hopefully, updates to NN 6 will actually fix some bugs...
