One reason it would make sense to wait is work on a bit more KDE-ization
of Firefox but I'm unsure we would able to ship it by default in the
end. There's
no Breeze theme for Firefox but it would be nice to work on it as part of the
switch. And I still wait for miracle that better browser will come one day.
Firefox is unfortunately best from bad...
