Maybe I'm missed something, but there is a (relative) simple question that always pops up in my head when I read things like this. I never bothered to ask it in public, but I'll do now: * Why haven't those that want iceweasel and icedove in Fedora not simply invested some time and got them integrated into the repository?(¹) It wouldn't be the first (albeit it likely would be the biggest) fork where we also still ship the original (dd{,_}rescue comes to my mind), hence I'd assume the packaging guidelines do not forbid something like that. Or do they? CU knurd P.S.: No, I'm not trying to shoot down the discussion, as it looks like it's in its last stages already anyway (¹) or was I simply to blind to find the review requests in bugzilla -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
