These are public lists, so i don't think so.

And all this is changing with IE9 / Firefox 4. And likely will continiue 
doing so, especially as more people start to ditch support for older 
browsers.
It has little to do with the w3c/whatwg, as far as i understand.

One of the bigger problems, is that browser versions are way to far between. 
Browser developers should really pick up the pace, release regular smaller 
updates, etc.
That would also raise awareness of updates, and bring it on par with the 
awareness of updates for other important stuff, like antivirus and flash.
