I am aware of the stability problems ... but there is one reasoning here i
think is faulty.
Mozilla 0.6 is NOT a branch from the M6 branch ... i mean .. why on Earth
would they even Want to do that ... when they have worked their way up to
M18.
IIRC ... they changed Milestone numbering for the Mozilla project ... and
Mozilla 0.6 is the follow up for M18 ... based on what is released to the
world as Netscape 6.0
