I agree on these points as well.  Plus adding to the still-existing perception 
that we are somehow trying to kill off Konqueror is not beneficial to our image. 
I'd rather see Firefox by default over Arora in it's current state.

Having Arora or other browser in a "here, check out this cool new thing" would 
be nice in terms of showcasing emerging KDE technology (and therefore push 
development along -  quassel comes to mind here), but I think the space on the 
cd would be put to better use for other items.
