Unslotted xulrunner seems to be the consensus, so we aren't committing to "forever" maintain patches ourselves -- on a package-base that may well expand over time.
The consensus is to have updated applications, the new xulrunner seems quite an improvement so make _quite_ sense move towards it.
Some questions. What's the possibility of getting upstream to handle the renaming, thereby making slotting much easier while eliminating the "eternal" patch commitment? Has the issue even been brought up with mozilla-upstream? I know they aren't always the most receptive to community suggestions, but it's worth asking, anyway.
Discussing with upstream this would be good as well, BUT you shouldn't rely on that.
How many packages are we talking about?
A list had been produced already and is relatively short and some are just nsplugins (and those shouldn't require a change)
