I'm oblivious to how it took me a full week to realize this, but last Thursday, Mozilla posted the first "rapid release" beta of its Thunderbird e-mail/messaging client. That's right... "rapid release" isn't just affecting the Firefox Web browser, but Thunderbird as well, which means its versioning scheme has also been accelerated. If it follows suit with Firefox, that means Thunderbird will be treated to four "major" version releases annually.
