It's important to note that "popularity" is not the sole reason for

Matt,

My intent on this thread was simply to bring this topic to the forefront and generate some discussion. It was not to

challenge the guidelines. The first discussions regarding this I found were in 2009, and quite a few things have changed

since then. In 2009 one could not argue that Chromium was "To Big To Fail" - I'm not too sure about that now; especially

in light of the recent Konqueror discussion which highlighted the fact that Fedora is highly dependent on Firefox.

Firefox ends up being the default choice because it is the ONLY choice. That is becoming an untenable situation.
