-# parabola changes and rationale:
-# - rebranded to iceweasel
-# - removed google api keys and usage
-# - removed use of firefox-symbolic.svg
-# - added makedepends: mozilla-searchplugins, quilt, libxslt, imagemagick
-# - added replaces, conflicts: firefox
+# Rational for inclusion in [libre]:
+# - For FSDG compliance, we must modify the addons pages to use GNU
+# IceCat plugins sources, rather than addons.mozilla.org, which
+# hosts non-free addons.
+# - Disable EME (implemented via the libWideVine CDM)
+#
+# The above changes cause us to run afoul of the Firefox trademark
+# policy[1], so making those changes also requires us to:
+# - Rebrand to Iceweasel
+#
+# While we're at it, while not strictly nescessary for FSDG
+# compliance:
+# - Remove google api keys and usage
+# - Disable Mozilla telemetry and crash reporting (good manners
+# because of all of the other patching we're doing
