It's good thing Mike's in town this week. Wrath shall be felt...

In any case, I should clarify:
   * Current branch drivers [1] will handle mailnews bugs and target  
them (and find owners) for upcoming Thunderbird 2.0.0.x releases.
   * Security bugs that do not affect Thunderbird 2.0.0.x will not be  
targeted or managed.
   * If bugs unrelated to Thunderbird 2.0.0.x get appropriate reviews,  
branch drivers will triage the approval requests appropriately, just  
as they do now.
   * The community can take over this branch, just as has been done  
for Gecko 1.8.0 (currently managed by Linux vendors)

I hope that helps clear things up... I didn't mean to have my hate on  
for SeaMonkey or Camino or any other Gecko 1.8.1 consumer. I <3  
everyone!
