Ok, so it's just funny.
"bloatzilla" while accurate, doesn't fix the stated problem. It will
still be there.
What might be a better option is to have the mozilla port only build
development and/or library packages for other ports/packages that want
them (galeon comes to mind but there are others that aren't in-tree
yet). This way there's NO {bloat|mo}zilla at all and the message is
sent loud and clear without the risk of confusing the heck out of people
("what's bloatzilla?") and possibly breaking other ports.
