Yes. We had some issues with our mirror network which we wanted to resolve before announcing the Live CD, so that the CD would be available on all mirror carrying CD isos.
Ouch, didn't know that there were mirroring problems.
Also, how come it only includes FF 3.0.6? This is
terribly weird IMHO.
It went through QA before the release announcement, which also took some time.
OK. However... this is still ridiculous, given the dates when CentOS has released FF updated packages: firefox-3.0.6 = 04-Feb-2009 firefox-3.0.7 = 01-Apr-2009 firefox-3.0.9 = 23-Apr-2009 firefox-3.0.10 = 28-Apr-2009 5.3 LiveCD = 19-May-2009
Just updating 1 (one) package and regenerate the CD... how much would it have taken to test the result? Note that the updated package was part of CentOS 5.3 since April 28 already. (Sigh.)
All right, nothing would change now anyway. But it's still ridiculous to ship a FF issued in February 4!

the problem in this case, is that the package should not have been updated. It would / should be the same as whats in the 5.3 tree. We prolly need to add that to the QA process.
