It seems to me that it would be much less confusing for the user if
Ubuntu were to simply release a security update for Hoary called
firefox 1.0.3. Even if the security issues for Firefox 1.0.3 were
fixed in the Ubuntu 1.0.2 release, how is the user supposed to know
that? All the user (like me) knows is that mozilla releases a 1.0.3
security update to fix important vulnerabilities, so for all I know,
my ubuntu 1.0.2. still has those vulnerabilities. My inclination is to
ditch the Ubuntu version and just download and use the bin distributed
by mozilla. But obviously that's not the best solution. Plus even if
ubuntu-1.0.2. is secure, how do I convince my IT manager of that?
Really, it shouldn't be difficult for Ubuntu to release 1.0.3. as a
security patch for Hoary.
