What Asa said is that we never focused on making Firefox good for "the 
enterprise" (which actually is an incredibly large range of different 
places), we always focused on making it as good as possible for 
individuals, and we'll continue to do so.
More or less by chance, it happened to work well for a number of large 
deployments in corporations and other organizations as well, we were and 
are happy about it, but we never did set it out to be that way.
The newly (re)founded Enterprise Working Group will help to improve on 
what happened by chance in that area, but it will only augment our main 
focus, which stay on the individual user of the web.

That should be a non-issue, as those build on web standards and our 
support for web standards only increases but doesn't decline with new 
versions, be it in the rapid process or not.

"I'm using the current Firefox release" (or beta, or Aurora, or 
Nightly). We have always discouraged bug reports on non-current versions 
before and we will continue to do so.
