Look at the fedora-legacy-list archives. RHEL already got Seamonkey as a 
replacement for Mozilla months ago. Now there's yet another set of security 
holes, apparently rated critical (in addition to all the pending ones!). So 
it's urgent to do something about this, waiting for Core and Extras to merge is 
not a good idea. Legacy is going to push Seamonkey as a Mozilla replacement for 
FC3 and FC4, so it only makes sense for FC5 to get the same treatment. FC6 and 
FC7 are NOT affected because they don't ship the vulnerable Mozilla Suite 
1.7.x, so Seamonkey is (AFAIK) not going to move to Core for these releases. 
Ask Michal Jaegermann from Legacy and Christopher Aillon from Core for details.
