Basically, I want us to be decoupled from this; there are conceptually

tightly coupled to firefox.
Having a separate xulrunner as a project hasn't really worked - it's a
*huge*, enormous codebase. Spidermonkey on the other hand has always
nominally supported being built seprately; it has its own configure
script, etc.
Probably better way would be to work on parallel installation of
xulrunner and/or spidermonkey then forking. I.e. if needed there should
be possible to install, for example, xulrunner 2.0 and xulrunner 2.1 at
the same time.
This is already possible for xulrunner in most distributions.
Then probably the problem is Fedora itself then coupling. Since
otherwise the gnome-shell/gjs are coupled to particular branch of
xulrunner if I understand correctly.
I guess update xulrunner 1.9.x - xulrunner 1.9.(x+1) does not require
code changes so the problem can be derefered to distributions (updates,
updating fx/gjs/gnome-shell when ABI changes for example due to inlining
etc.).
