No, no, this is separate. 8.04.1 is not like 3.1. Firefox had its code frozen
at 3.0 a long time ago (like 6 months) and Mozilla ironed things out while
other devs merged new features into 3.1.

Ubuntu 8.04 was inappropriate for an LTS assuming people do not obtain 8.04.1,
which also has a final FF3.
