I am not restricting anybody, I just said that most people will only
have one and we will force them to have specific menu entries for very
generic items. IMHO this is restriction.

I think web browsers are not generic. If they just embedded webkit or
gecko, nobody would install two different browsers based on the same
rendering engine.

Terminals on the other hand are way more generic. They just run bash.

Anyway, I am going to stop arguing here, I will (have to) live with
upstream's decision.
