FC2, yum and Firefox 1.0...

Firefox 1.0 has been out since last August. Yet, when I ran yum this
morning on my FC2 box, there were STILL no updates for Firefox 0.92.

I'd like to stay with FC2 until FC3 becomes more stable/reliable - right
now I'm very happy with my FC2 environment and don't see a need to break
a working system. It also seems that people are actively updating yum
packages for FC2, since I got quite a few new headers downloaded when I
used yum earlier.

So, why no Firefox update after all this time?

If it's really not available, I guess I'll look into how software is
packaged for yum, I suppose it'd be an interesting project building a
Firefox 1.0 package for FC2...

Thanks,

Terry
