i heard an interesting comment from mike shaver of the firefox/mozilla
project last year. he wondered openly why on earth they (mozilla.org)
would actually want their software distributed by third parties. third
parties who compile and package in ways beyond their control.
this assumption that inclusion in a distro is the only way to get
software to linux users needs careful examination.
