I have observed this with both a feisty->gutsy upgrade and fresh install of gutsy beta. I am currently running with a completely fresh install of gutsy beta with updates applied as they come through.

My information comes from two sources.

1) The reason given for the creation of a new organisation to be created to further development of thunderbird and the fact that present releases of thunderbird are produced solely by the Mozilla QA Team as, and when, they have time available.

2) The recent departure of Scott McGregor and David Bienvenu, both well-known thunderbird core developers, from the Mozilla Corporation. These are key individuals and thunderbird development will suffer as a result of their departure.

I don't make unfounded statements and if you believe that thunderbird-2.0.0.x is stable enough for gutsy release then I look forward to being proved correct once the bug reports do start to come in on this subject.
