The solution to this seems rather obvious to me. Dapper will be 
supported for three years - that doesn't mean it will support Firefox 
1.0 for three years.

When the Mozilla Foundation deprecates Firefox 1.0, Dapper provides an 
upgrade to 1.5. So instead of the user getting a security upgraded 
1.0, they get 1.5.

Or am I missing something obvious in the thread?
