This was done upon good rationale.

1. Hardy is an *LTS* means all mozilly products will have to be supported for
   3 years with security updates.
   The way upstream is making their security updates is difficult to support
   a complex app like the firefox for that long.

2. This decission (see 1.) had to be done ~4 months ago.

3. I have used ff beta as long as i use hardy and it's all but unstable.
   (some plugins have not been updated for ff 3.0 though)

4. ff 2.0.0.13 is still available for everybody who wants it and in fact i
   have them both in parallel here.
