Irresponsible? To be honest, what is the point of this thread? I
think both arguments have been said, and a difference of opinion
exists.
If Debian want to fork Firefox, then let them. If anybody doesent
like it, vote with yer feet. If anybody really wants a genuine
Mozilla Firefox on their Debian system, then download the sources and
compile!
Maybe Debian or Mozilla are in the wrong. Only time will tell. If
so, they may go the way of XFree86. Life goes on.
