There is not really very much difference between Netscape and Mozilla 
beyond pretty packaging and marketroid cruft.  So developers of Mozilla 
need to have a focus on the most important element to the end users of 
these distributions, or the distributions will fail.  An open ended 
mission such as Internet application framework is too grandiose and 
unfocused to be useful.

IMHO anyway ;)
