(I believe they refer to this as "maintenance mode", which is pretty much the same thing AOL said about Netscape 7.x around the time they axed the Netscape browser development team.)
Meanwhile, the community based spin off project, "SeaMonkey" which is continuing development of the Mozilla App-Suite (from the 1.8.x series onwards) will most likely see it's feature set improved.
The developers of the standalone Mozilla Composer spin off Nvu, said they'd "backport" it's features into Mozilla Composer, but that decision was announced before Mozilla.org announced they would spin off development of Mozilla App-Suite 1.8.x to the "SeaMonkey" project. So, as far as I can
tell, it seems most likely that any backported features from the Nvu product, will most likely end up as part of SeaMonkey (based on Mozilla 1.8.x) rather than Mozilla Suite 1.7.x.
In the meantime, even though I prefer the Mozilla App-Suite, I'll continue to use Mozilla Firefox as my main browser, at least until an official release comes from the spin off "SeaMonkey" project.
