A new one is created for each release; you can see the release
schedule at http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointFifteen.

Just a missing space?  I can add that.

Honestly, I don't know.  Although it might not matter since we build
firefox (will probably soon be xulrunner) instead of mozilla, where
this might not be an issue.  We don't do very good at keeping
sample-tarball.jhbuildrc up to date (I have left the wrong release
number in there before, e.g. 2.15.2 when doing the 2.15.3 release).
We tend to only add stuff there if definitely needed to fix something
broken, and then often forget about it.  I only barely removed the
howl workaround yesterday when we stopped using howl months ago.  If
you suspect any other issues and can verify the correct fix, send it
along our way.
