Nonsense.
* Whenever somebody complains about the Firefox maintainers rejecting non-
upstream patches, they give the trademarks as the reason.
* Whenever somebody complains about the branding, they claim it doesn't 
matter because we aren't carrying non-upstream patches anyway.
That's a very circular argument. Please don't fall for it.

There are some very concrete practical reasons for shipping some non-
upstream patches, unbundling libraries is one of those.
