Well it causes most of the world to fail to compose on numerous
architectures. EG Workstation on both ARMv7 and aarch64 is very usable
and accelerated on a number of devices but now completely fails to
compose, Firefox is the default browser there.
The point is that as the criteria stand, we could fix that without
fixing Firefox, by simply changing the default browser on the image. We
don't *technically* have to make Firefox build again in order to
resolve the blocker issue.
Some people have an instinctive feeling that this is 'bad' and the
criteria must somehow require that we fix Firefox. Stephen is proposing
something less than that; that at least we should never vary the
'default browser' (and other 'applications') between arches.
