I was under the impression that although Iceweasel started off as a
simple rebranding project that the maintainers had greater ambitions
and that they already made changes to the source that have nothing to
do with the branding - am I wrong?
Iceweasel (and FireFox) prior to version 3 despite a few bugs were
the most convenient GUI gopher browser available and the loss of
gopher support would be a big blow for gopher users.
