So do we have multiple kernels in Fedora?  We offer .deb variants of Fedora?

Because we moved away from OpenOffice.org towards LibreOffice, and then AOO
appeared on the horizon.

Epiphany or Firefox do not share such a history. For what it is worth, I would
very much like to streamline things there too, which is why I said initially:
"lets not make it any worse than it already is".

(Once upon a time Epiphany had multiple backends, before it adopted WebKit as
the only one [1]. So we atleast gave up on some "choice" there.)

Cheers,
