Does this mean that all XULrunner-based applications, including for instance
Thunderbird, Firefox and Mozilla once that switch is made, will have to use
the same version of Gecko (whichever one is installed on the machine where
they're running) and that it won't anymore be possible to, let's say, test an
"alpha" version of Gecko with SeaMonkey while running Fx & Tb on the latest
"release" version of Gecko for production purposes on the same machine?

followup set to mozilla.general

Tony.
