Package: iceweasel
Version: 4.0.1-2
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
This is a long standing and recurring question !
I'm using iceweasel for years and when the version 3.6 appears in experimental,
I had migrate to it without problem...
For the 4.0 it is the same, I'm using it since it is available in experimental,
without any major issue !
It is my main web browser, using it more or less 8 hours a day with lot of web
tabs... on any kind of web sites (with or without flash, with o without lot's
of javascripts, well done with standard care or experimental one's)...
So why it is not migrating to sid and testing to have bigger tester number and
to be more wildly available ?
Is there any technical/ethical/political reason of that ?
Thanks to read this !
Best regards
Mourad
