I dispute that there was anything like a useful debate, because all attempts to discover what "browserified" is supposed to mean have been ignored. Despite that, this is still the term that continues to be used to pose the question. There may have been the appearance of a debate in the TC, but from my point of view that was mostly pondering what conceivable meaning "browserified" could have that might lead to one thinking that posing these questions made any sense whatsoever.
