I think making Iceweasel and Icedove packages and then floating the proposal "switch from these guideline-infringing Firefox and Thunderbird packages to these non-guideline-infringing Iceweasel and Icedove packages that already exist and are tested" would get much more momentum than just complaining that the Firefox and Thunderbird packages are infringing. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
