Reporter of bug 242673 which lies in the root of all this messes noticed.
No, reading the bug, the root of all this is because someone went
against my will twice now and added the firefox-32 package. Now people
think they can do shit like this which was one of my objections in the
first place. I objected to this before it got added and it got added
anyway. Then I objected after it got added again and they promised to
remove it but it's apparently back now, after I verified it got removed.
Clearly, my decisions matter.
This is FUD with a few outright lies sprinkled within.
- I created firefox-32 as an alternative way to explicitly launch the
32bit firefox on x86_64 because you rejected multiple REASONABLE
requests to allow it to be launched somehow without modifying
/usr/bin/firefox manually.
- I added it to Extras because I wanted a convenient shell script to
launch the 32bit browser without removing x86_64.
- You objected to it. I refused to remove it until nspluginwrapper was
viable.
- You threatened to add Conflicts out of spite.
- I escalated this issue to engineering management because I felt you
were acting unprofessional and spiteful. <manager> agreed with me.
- I heard nothing about it for a while.
- It never was removed from the distro or re-added at any point. The
current version in F7 was built back in November 2006.
Someone screwing themselves by removing firefox.x86_64 is completely
independent of firefox-32. Furthermore, if you remove firefox.x86_64
you don't need the firefox-32 script at all. I completely fail to see
how firefox-32 is the cause of this flamewar. Removing firefox.x86_64
itself is what breaks yelp, and firefox-32 has NOTHING to do with this.

It seems that nspluginwrapper is now close to being suitable for
Fedora... although there seems to be a separate drama going on in this
review ticket.
Let's see how stable and reliable nspluginwrapper can be before removing
firefox-32.
