I think mageia 2 users maybe want firefox 13 as well, so where's the
problem?

Just provide it for both and keep the system upgradable. But iirc ff
is not a real problem, since we can update it, but it there is not
a security issue or important matter, someone should at least open
a bug request. In the case that an update request is made against
mga1, we shall offer it for mga2 as well and so on...
