1.7.14 and aviary1.0.9

[Chris Ilias]

If the Firefox/Thunderbird 1.0.8 and Mozilla 1.7.13 releases are the
last to use the 1.7 branch [1], why are there 1.7.14 and aviary1.0.9
blocker flags in bugzilla.mozilla.org [2]? Have those plans changed, or
are there other products, whose developers want to continue 1.7.x based
releases?

I'd guess that they are there to keep track of things that didn't make
it into 1.0.8 / 1.7.13 (or that come up) that would want to be
considered if a 1.0.9 / 1.7.14 were ever to be released. Maybe some
other team will come along and wish to drive a 1.0.9 / 1.7.14 release.

There were bugs already targeted there before the final announcement.
There are most likely vendors who have long term support contracts still
interested in those branches so they can continue to use them. If that
turns out not to be the case we can drop them later.
