Right. I usually only see book editions be mentioned in very small and 
cryptic language in places where most people don't look at. And here in 
Europe we usually don't talk about automobile model years, we talk about 
names given to models and from there describe how they look or their 
features. Only auto-geeks know model years or model numbers.

You are part of the community by posting here. Mozilla is the community. 
So you are Mozilla. And you are only caring about two types of users? 
Too bad, the people trying to develop Firefox further seem to me to care 
about way more kinds of users and know that they are actual people, who 
usually want to get things done in a secure and privacy-aware way on the 
web.
