Yes, I would say drop them all. The maintainer should be free to choose whether they want to continue to support the package in backports, convert the backend to use webkit, or to drop the package altogether. Which of those are gnome core packages? Only liferea, galeon, evolution-rss, and yelp stick out to me, but I don't use gnome. Yelp has a webkit backend, so the mozilla backend could be disabled. > Also, using backports doesn't magically solve the issue that all these > package need to be updated when there is a new ABI/API (which basically is > the case with major xulrunner versions) I agree, anyone planning to maintain those packages in backports will indeed have to suffer through that, but it's just the fact of life with mozilla.
