Perhaps so; I took what Pete said in his earlier response, reinserted: > > Interestingly enough as of a few mins ago > > my local system picked up the latest pkg. to mean that it was available then. > I also don't understand how you could categorize a browser > as "non-essential".

Essential security fixes to the OS have always been expedited to the best the Security Officer and crew can do as quickly as possible, AFAICT.
