round to the viewpoint that Fedora shoudn't ship any application in
the default install whose primary purpose is to connect to proprietary
web services, or at least not ones configured by default to do so.
(All apps are of course free to be in the repositories).
This would dovetail nicely with making it not suck to install applications.
How would you define a "proprietary web service"?
Is google such a service ? The only open protocol used by connecting any app to any of
their servers is http, xmpp etc. Everything behind is closed. So we remove firefox ?
