Maybe I'm missed something, but there is a (relative) simple question
that always pops up in my head when I read things like this. I never
bothered to ask it in public, but I'll do now:

 * Why haven't those that want iceweasel and icedove in Fedora not
simply invested some time and got them integrated into the repository?(¹)

It wouldn't be the first (albeit it likely would be the biggest) fork
where we also still ship the original (dd{,_}rescue comes to my mind),
hence I'd assume the packaging guidelines do not forbid something like
that. Or do they?

P.S.: No, I'm not trying to shoot down the discussion, as it looks like
it's in its last stages already anyway
