Hello.

I've decided to make following two changes in Ac:

1. Mozilla Suite will be completly removed from Ac. It is not maintained
anymore, it already has few security bugs, it will never be updated.
SeaMonkey which is replacement for Mozilla works just fine. All Mozilla
dependent stuff will be build against Firefox (if possible) or Mozilla
support will simply be removed from specs in question. All packages that
will fail to build against Firefox (skipstone for example) will also be
removed from Ac if no one will fix them.

2. ReiserFS 4 will not be supported by official Ac kernels. Its
situation is unclear at the moment + nobody cared to maintain reiser4
patches in PLD in the past (2.6.17 for example was waiting over one
month for updated patch). Of course reiser4 support may be included
again in future. Time will show if it will be maintained or not and if
updates will be more frequent.

M.
