I would note in this connection that the Mozilla project as a whole does
not seem to have enterprise use as a specific goal - although many
enterprises happily use it. There are lots of things (such as .msi
packaging) which enterprises would like which we don't do. Of course,
there are some sub-groups, such as the denizens of the
mozilla.community.enterprise newsgroup, who work to make this easier.

So putting the blame for Firefox's governmental-unreadiness (as you see
it) solely on Nelson is unfair.

The CCK meets many people's requirements, but not all - as you have
noted. And it has not been updated for Firefox 3, which is unfortunate.
Perhaps you might contact the maintainer to ask if this is going to
happen. Contributions are welcome.

I agree that this group needs to stop recommending it until that happens.
