OK, I guess I now get it. So, according to what you say, the latest
'vendor' version is 1.4. And 1.5, being just released, has
not yet been blessed as the 'vendor' branch. Am I right? 

So, assuming I'm right, I guess that we (you?) should wait
for the mozilla people to bless 1.5 as a 'vendor' branch. If
this has not yet happened (and until this happens) perhaps
it is ok to have a port of 1.4 as the mozilla-vendor branch.
But then if other mozilla-based ports (firebird et al) are
also updated, perhaps there is no need for it. 

And then we are at the beginning of this thread again :)

Sorry for not being more useful. I suppose that the
maintainers of mozilla-based ports are the ones who should
raised their voices now.

PS: thanks for the explanation
