Yes, though it's getting bogged down with building churn.

Because they don't ship updates to their XULRunner 1.8.0.4(?) which 
would be equivalent to Firefox 1.5.0.4, security warts and all.  There 
are something like 30+ critical unfixed security holes in their version 
last I looked which in turn affect apps such as liferea, though I'm 
guessing not all would affect all apps equally.
