Will IceWeasel be based on a fork or on vanilla FireFox?

[Bastian Venthur <expires-2007@venthur.de>]

Hi,

I've read on several blogs that IceWeasel will be based on a fork of
FireFox and not just on vanilla FireFox. Is this true and if yes, why?

I hope this will not result in a flamewar, I'm just interested in the
reasons if an why we prefer the fork over the original source as base
for our IceWeasel.

Cheers,

Bastian
