A grave bug has been introduced into the "wine" package of Debian Jessie, just days before the November 5th freeze deadline. The /usr/bin/wine launch script fails with an "error: unable to find wine executable. this shouldn't happen." message.
Debian has already suffered much unrest lately over the inclusion of systemd, with threats of a fork being issued, along with the possible cancellation of the GNU/kFreeBSD port and the possible dropping of support for the SPARC architecture. After so much strife and disruption, can Debian afford to have such a serious bug affect such a critical package so soon before such a major freeze?

Firefox has no future. That's the same as being dead. It doesn't matter how many developers are working on it. If nobody actually uses it, and the number of users left is indeed approaching zero, then it's a dead project. Firefox is meeting that criteria.

Nah, it's just pining for the users!
(It seems that humor is a more worthwhile reply than trying to actually reason with a post which just reiterated the points I addressed rather than actually adding something to the conversation.)
