[ale] 64bit thunderbird 3.0.4

[Jeff Hubbs]

This way of operating is infecting IT like a disease.

Whether it's on account of client demands, vendor "certification" of one 
of their products, PHB-ism, or what have you, the assembly of 
tightly-locked dependency stacks was one of the reasons why I *thought* 
we fled the closed-source proprietary software world.  I don't consider 
myself "Stallman-complete" but whenever this sort of situation appears, 
no good ever seems to come of it.  Even this property of RHEL and 
RHEL-alikes where the packages are version-ceilinged often seems to take 
what should be basic stewardship and turns it into administration 
crises, i.e., CUPS has a bug, can't upgrade it, must upgrade distro 
version first, but X app doesn't run under the new version, etc., etc., 
etc.

But the RHEL situation is just one example of a larger issue:  trade 
away one aspect of your computing freedom and other aspects follow.  
Trading away freedom only works if your trading partner is benevolent.
