Well, while I can see why why Mozilla 1.1 would be considered "bleeding
edge" (it has a lot of extra features), and I can see why some would
prefer Mozilla 1.0.x (because features cause bulk, etc.), to me, 1.1 is
the release. For instance, the browser that IBM brands and releases for
OS/2 is Mozilla 1.1 (which is on my lap top at the moment). Since I
like my (two) different platforms to have similar browsers, I'd be
inclined to a -stable and -current distinction. But people get all
wrapped up about vocabulary, so that's not critical.
The bottom line is that I like 1.1 (I just wish the performance of 1.1
with respect to Java was as fast on FreeBSD as it is on OS/2).
YMMV.
