I can't see this matters much. The day is fast approaching when SeaMonkey will not be updated security-wise at all. People already know that not much is planned after 2.57, where did they think security fixes would come from after that?
It's not like no one knows that day isn't coming, but that they have decided to ignore it and hope it won't happen. It will.
Plus, we've all seen Firefox users being constantly duped into updating by Mozilla regarding these theoretical, not out-in-the wild, security fixes. Where are the people who have ever been whacked by them, considering that I know there are people using browsers that are years and years out of date? I don't see them and I reckon this fear mongering that makes people obediently jump when told, should stop.
As I mentioned before, if people are planning to continue to use SM over the long term then they should be planning their own security measures themselves. I know I have.
Finally, how about cutting the SM devs some slack here, not like they get paid for doing that thankless task.
