This a maintence burden... and it will happen at some point. It already has happened, essentially. We (well, many of us, not everyone) wanted to contribute a native widgets/HIG version of Firefox; but upstream will not accept that patch under the Firefox name. So this sort of argument has come up. Because they wouldn't take the patch we decided to work on other stuff (including non-browser-related) and right now everything we're doing with Firefox should land upstream. caillon has it under control. Changing the configure arguments in the packages and doing an Obsoletes/Provides firefox wouldn't take very long, if we need to do it someday. So there's no point stressing about hypotheticals. There's value to calling it Firefox for now (if only to avoid user confusion) and if we have to change it someday, it will cause some problems but they'll be the same problems if we change it today.
