To: Sander van Loon <<a href="mailto:svloon@xs4all.nl">svloon@xs4all.nl</a>> <div> On 1/4/06, Sander van Loon <<a href="mailto:svloon@xs4all.nl" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">svloon@xs4all.nl</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I asked this to Matt Zimmerman, he replied to me that I should post this on this list so that other people know the reason as well. Part of original e-mail to Matt Zimmerman: Please read this <a href="https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18786" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18786</a> . Here you closed this feature request with the explanation that it should be discussed on the ubuntu-devel, and that it has been discussed before. So I started searching in the archives of ubuntu-devel of the past 6 months. The only post which discussed this issue was this one: <a href="http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2005-September/011292.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2005-September/011292.html </a> . Ironnically however another developer, Jeff Waugh, later replied that it should not be discussed on ubuntu-devel - <a href="http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2005-September/011311.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2005-September/011311.html </a> . But what I still don't know is why the Ubuntu devs don't intend or don't want to replace Firefox with Epiphany by default. Could you please explain the reasons to me?</blockquote><div> Probably because Firefox is much more accepted into community, has greater support and so on, is probably more stable, and so on? </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">-- ubuntu-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel </a> </blockquote></div>
