32-bit Firefox (Re: How long will 64bit Ubuntu users have towait?)

[Saad Shakhshir]

Kilz, I don't think there is a disagreement here on whether or not Ubuntu
should have improved 64-bit support.  It is simply a question of priorities
and limited resources.  As Matt and Mark have said, Canonical is not going
to contribute additional resources to this right now.

On the other hand, Ubuntu welcomes and in fact embraces contributions made
from the community.  Matt made it explicit that instead of maintaining your
own repository for the packages you have created, post them to be uploaded
to the official Ubuntu repositories.

Move this discussion forward in a more constructive and collaborative manner
and you will see the changes you are asking for.
