Hey,

as spoken on IRC I've like to point out, that It might be a good thing
to replace the "firefox" module with "firefox6" or whatever is the
up-to-date version of firefox.

	a) I can understand that we have gtk, gtk2 and gtk3. I
	would also understand to have linux 2.4 and linux 2.6
	and linux 3.0 - But I can't understand why we need
	firefox, firefox-bin, firefox5, firefox6 - And soon
	firefox7?

	b) Lunar is meant to run at the edge, i.e. we're up to
	date -> no need to keep firefox or firefox5 if it's
	out of date; the only reason would be that the current
	firefox (firefox6) is in some way buggy (and then we
	shouldn't have a module for it / shouldn't have updated
	to it)

Hence, if there is no good reason (please tell me about) I'd like to
rename firefox6 to firefox and remove firefox5 from moonbase. Also, how
about firefox-bin? is there a binary for firefox6?

Jean
