Yes, exactly. As an experiment, I installed seamonkey 1.0.2 from Extras and
than did "yum remove mozilla". As expected, epiphany and yelp would get
whacked if I said yes.

So, either Mozilla needs to get patched in FC5 or packages using it have
be rebuilt against something else (FF or Seamonkey).

It would be good if RH folks could comment what the preferred way to fix
this would be. I personally think it's better to drop Mozilla and go
with something newer. But then again, I'm not sure how many other things
is this going to break...
