Maybe it's just me, but when you say days in this context, I think of three to five or six. Also, you didn't mention anything about the <a href="http://wiki.mozilla.org/Software_Update:Tasklist" rel="nofollow">Software Updates 'patch' system</a>, where there will be no need to reinstall Firefox in order to apply updates. That's a key feature driving 1.1. And I don't follow you on what you think is coming for 1.5. Firefox has a download manager - they just want to <a href="http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:1.5_Download_Manager" rel="nofollow">change how it works</a>. It has customizable toolbars too - they're just worried about the problems that plagued IE with having <a href="http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:1.5_Customizable_Toolbars" rel="nofollow">too many toolbars</a> installed too easily.

Until then, it is better to avoid saying "coming soon". :-P We still have one more round to go: Deer Park Beta. Until then, it is better to avoid saying “coming soon”. :-P
