+Ok so there is a bug to fix in e17, what do you do ?
+
+Or a security issue like the one I found ( and that should be fixed I
+hope soon, after reporting it 3 times upstream ).
+
+if the answer is "we ship a newer snapshot who requires to rebuild
+everything regarding e17 because there is no guarantee of binary
+stability ( ie, ABI wise ) and that will introduce unwanted changes",
+then the problem is here. 
+
+Unless the snapshot are bugfixes only ( and they are not ), that's a
+problem. That's already annoying to have to do it for chrome, firefox
+and thunderbird to not happily increase our burden with a whole desktop
+environnement.
+
+So far, I have asked the question 3 times. No one answered at all.
+
+
+Also, please do not top post.
