If you run a 's/, in addition to being stupid by itself,//' over that: Yes, sure. > And besides, it's not that we want Iceweasel, it's that we DO NOT WANT > Firefox since it does not follow Fedora policies. As it's obvious from the discussion: There are other "we" in Fedora that think having Firefox is wise. Please note that I actually don't feel myself as being a part of either "we" here. Both sides afaics have good points. The main reason why I raised my voice: I don't see a real reason why Fedora has to pick a position for the repository (see next para) > Having both would not actually solve any problem. I tend to disagree, as including both Iceweasel and Icedove in addition to Firefox and Thunderbird gives users, admins and especially those that maintain a remix the option to easily chose the solution that suites their needs best.
