Aviary Branch Landing Puts Firefox on the Road to 1.1 (MozillaZine)

MozillaZine reports on the new Firefox Aviary branch. "Last week, the Aviary branch landed on the trunk, bringing the trunk builds of Mozilla Firefox into line with Firefox 1.0. The Aviary branch was cut from the 1.7 branch earlier this year, allowing Mozilla 1.8 development to continue on the trunk without the worry that radical changes (such as those made to Gecko) would adversely affect the stability of Firefox 1.0 and Thunderbird 1.0. Changes to core Mozilla components like Gecko were only checked into trunk and not the Aviary branch, while late-breaking Firefox 1.0 features (like the Find bar and the Plugin Finder Service) were only checked into the Aviary branch and not the trunk. Both Firefox 0.9 and 1.0 were released from the Aviary branch."

Am I the only one that deadly misses the absent in Firefox Window/* menus?
