With 12 months support more often than not it would need updating in the
lifespan of the Mageia 9 month release anyway.
Firefox is one of those programs that people like to be bang up to date
with. It is 'bragging rights' to ship with the latest and something
reviewers always give version numbers of along with libreoffice, kde, gnome.
I understand the arguments to go with the 12 months support but I think
for the reasons above we should stick with the normal release cycle or
maybe even offer both?
