I'm more concerned about the future of their servers than Mozilla.
currently there seems to be major problems going on about educational
pricing of their SuiteSpot servers (they're no longer free for
educational institutions.) Hopefully things will get settled down quickly
and they can continue working on free (for educational institutions
anyway) Linux ports of the SuitSpot servers (instead of Yucky NT or
Solaris(Sparc only)).
