no. hy download the package or even the source, build it, only to be told
"no, you didn't want to do that." waste of time, bandwidth, etc .. that
would sure as hell piss me off.

i can see pval's and theo's point and originally thought it was a good
idea, but i think jolan's got it right. calling firebird the real mozilla
will only confuse people, and if we can avoid that confusion with mozilla
flavors which minimize the bloat as jolan described, then that is
ultimately a wiser move, in my opinion.
