I was just wondering if there was consensus withing Linux.Aus that the 
Firefox/Iceweasle(omg) situation is in fact a debacle that jeopardises 
FOSS from taking its rightful place as a global standard.

This type of disparity does not imbue confidence in potential converts.

If there is consensus then I would strongly desire Linux.Aus to formally 
voice our opinion on this matter (Quite sternly, with hand waves).

Here's hoping common sense prevails.
