   Look ... it's just not ready for prime time - that's
   the fact. When it is it'll come in a nice .deb and .rpm
   and will install easy and clean. For now it's 'beta-ware',
   maybe 'gamma-ware'.

   Oh, and do we really NEED another web browser ??? Everybody
   is after a seriously de-junked FireFox or Chromium - but I'm
   not sure that's a viable option anymore. People expect a LOT
   of browsers now and too much de-junking means a serious lack
   of desired capabilities. Any new product - there's be a huge
   lobby demanding they ADD all those junky features.

   SHOULD browsers do all Firefox/Chromium do ? Probably not, it's
   an invite to the malicious. So is using Winders for that matter.
   Are people going to drop all of those ? NO ! May as well tell
   them to throw away the credit cards and start paying for
   everything in person in gold dust. Ain't gonna happen.
