[oi-dev] FF 43b6 integration

[Aurélien Larcher]

Hi,
I vote for integration as there is no critical regression, while on the
other side security issues are addressed and broader testing is important.

On Debian stable and testing, in the past months, I have seen Iceweasel
behave equally bad regarding Flash and crashes on exit (leading to
zombified process), the same applies to Icedove for the latter issue.
This is not a justification, of course, but considering our resources,
until we reach a stage when a release schedule is possible, consolidating
oi-userland and facilitating testing (when no critical regression exists)
should be a priority.

In an ideal time-unlimited world I would of course otherwise agree with
Nikola. ;)
He makes a valid point though about taking care of keeping /dev -> /hipster
upgrades possible.

Best regards,

Aurelien
