From what I experienced last week, seamonkey does replace mozilla in
FC5, and the upgrade path is seemless. You continue to run 'mozilla'
but you get seamonkey instead.

Gang,
This may be re-ringing the same bell, but is seamonkey replacing mozilla?
If so, at least in FC5, if you've already got mozilla and friends
installed, then there doesn't appear to be any upgrade path that doesn't
require deleting mozilla and friends before adding seamonkey. And from
what I can tell, if you do have mozilla and friends already installed,
you can't get there from here.
In FC5 for example, I've already got installed:
mozilla-1.7.13-1.1.fc5.i386.rpm
mozilla-chat-1.7.13-1.1.fc5.i386.rpm
mozilla-devel-1.7.13-1.1.fc5.i386.rpm
mozilla-dom-inspector-1.7.13-1.1.fc5.i386.rpm
mozilla-js-debugger-1.7.13-1.1.fc5.i386.rpm
mozilla-mail-1.7.13-1.1.fc5.i386.rpm
So trying to install the latest stuff (via yum extender output) I see
stuff like:
ROOT:root=> yumex

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/config.py:454: DeprecationWarning: getConfigOption() will go away in a future version of Yum.

But... when I test removing mozilla and friends via "rpm --test -e",
I get a ton of "XXX is needed by (installed) YYY" errors, some of which
(like gnome-python2-gtkmozembed, libswt3-gtk2, conglomerate and gecko-sharp2)
can't be re-installed because there aren't seamonkey compatible replacements
available.
So unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be a clean upgrade
path from mozilla and friends to seamonkey and friends.
Suggestions are welcome at this point.
