Delicious delicacies

Removed IRC quote. Reasons below. - Ekevu (talk) 19:50, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Doesn't sound verifiable... IRC logs aren't authoritative.
  • Not neutral. Apparently Connor was present to rebuff, and rebuff isn't there.
  • Really, what was Ross' opinion on it? It only says Ross liked the quote, but doesn't even state clearly if he was favourable to it.
  • "Inspiring to note over IRC?" This quote doesn't sound all that insightful.

Minefield

Apparently, there's confusion about the "Minefield" brand on nightly builds; so I'd like to set the record straight. There were many false reports of Firefox releases, when software vendors, such as softpedia.com, saw nightly or tinderbox builds with a new or different version number. The purpose of the "Minefield" brand name was to prevent people from confusing nightlies for releases. Here's the discussion. Here's the bug. As you can see, it's checked into both the trunk and 1.8.1 branch, which is what Firefox 2 will be built on. Minefield is NOT the codename for Firefox 3.
