The current habit is indeed to rush any new version to release, whether 
or not the necessary supplement (plugins, addons) are available for it.

When I installed openSuSE v11.4, Firefox 4 (a release candidate!!!) came 
with it without any offer of a atable alternative. I do not know what 
kind of mind would inflict a release candidate when a stable 3.6.16 was 
available. For what it's worth, I do not like FF4. It is loaded with 
changes made for the sake of making changes, which seems to be a disease 
od wpidemic proportions among Linux (at least)  developers in general.
