Hi Ryan,
do you have any particular reason why it should be included? I must
admit that when I first spotted Firefox Developer Edition I also
thought it would be a good fit for Fedora Workstation, but I spoke
with
the Firefox guys and they don't think it's bringing a lot of value.
From what they told me, it's basically a development version of
Firefox
with installation of unsigned extensions permitted and with a couple
of
devel extensions pre-loaded. That's it
Not just that. It's called Developer Edition because it's targeting web
developers. It's the version where all new things around developer
tools first land. It's actually my default browser (and I know it's the
default for many developers too). So if it was in our repositories it
would save a lot of time/trouble of trying to make it work properly
with our desktop. The only problem I see is that it's regularly updated
(almost once a day), but I guess we could live with slower period
updates through dnf (or Software Center).
