I don't particularly like "If you aren't a devoloper, don't use our
software." attitude. However, I do understand the policy that
[EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't want to offer end user support.
Telling end users to not use Mozilla and not giving end user support are
two different things. In the latter case providing a forum for
user-to-user support doesn't mean [EMAIL PROTECTED] would have to act as
support persons.

Mozilla is already being developed with end users in mind. For example,
localizations are inherently for end users and not for developers. Do
people localize Mozilla only because they want to make it easier for
others to repackage Mozilla or do people localize Mozilla in order to
help English-challenged *Mozilla* end users in their own language with
facilitating repackaging only being a side effect?
