I suppose this also holds for Thunderbird 3.0a1. But as of yesterday I 
am co-author of an extension that is still marked in install.rdf and on 
AMO as being compatible with Thunderbird 1.5 - 1.5.0.*. When I change 
this version inline to 1.5 - 3.0a1 all Thunderbird 2.0.0.* users will 
have a problem installing it, right?
Wasn't there an issue with broken version ranges on AMO?
