If you run a 's/, in addition to being stupid by itself,//' over that:
Yes, sure.

As it's obvious from the discussion: There are other "we" in Fedora that
think having Firefox is wise.

Please note that I actually don't feel myself as being a part of either
"we" here. Both sides afaics have good points. The main reason why I
raised my voice: I don't see a real reason why Fedora has to pick a
position for the repository (see next para)

I tend to disagree, as including both Iceweasel and Icedove in addition
to Firefox and Thunderbird gives users, admins and especially those that
maintain a remix the option to easily chose the solution that suites
their needs best.
