The problem is that Fedora can't change anything in Thunderbird (nor
Firefox) without upstream buy-in because the maintainer refuses to rename
the programs and thus we're bound by Mozilla's strict (and IMHO completely
unreasonable and unacceptable in the Free Software world) trademark policy.
What's to stop someone ITP'ing* icecat? Get it in the repo, and go from
there. If you can't work /with/ the maintainer(s), work around them.
(* Intent To Package. Yeah, I'm borrowing Cygwin terminology, sorry. Not
sure what the equivalent in Fedora slang would be.)
