A user community, sure.  A development community?  Not really.

One could easily come to the conclusion that the new Mozilla release 
schedule with the extra alpha cycle is to slow down releases for fear of 
needing a 1.10.  Silly?  Mozilla avoided 0.10 in the pre-1.0 days. 
Firefox is doing the same today.  One could then further conclude that 
1.9 (later this year) will be the last in the Seamonkey regime....
