Dropping support for Mozilla suite?

[Bryan Pizzuti]

No problem here.  I think a lot of people prefer the seperate components
so they can mix and match. Personally, I like Firefox, but prefer
Evolution and Pan over Thunderbird. More flexibility that way...with the
full Mozilla suite, there's a size disadvantage in loading the browser,
and if someone doesn't use the other components, it's annoying.

Of course, Mozilla has quite a bit more in the way of sidebar
configurability...
