mozilla-vendor has a purpose.  Mozilla 1.0 and now 1.4 are the vendor
branches.  That is, they are the branches that browsers such as Netscape
are spun from.  The name vendor means that this browser can be used by
other vendors to create Mozilla-based products.  They can be assured of
utmost stability at the cost of new features.
