Isn't porting Netscape to Plan9 one of the signs of Armageddon?

I seem to recall that C++ sources weren't included because Lucent
sells it as a separate product.

I thought this thread was a joke. I can't believe anyone really
wants Netscape (candidate for worst program I've ever had
to endure) for Plan 9. And lack of source isn't the only reason
to remove all traces of C++ from your system!

I downloaded it, and thought it's too bad cfront source didn't
come with Plan9.  I removed all the c++ tools from my system
because the source wasn't included...

So first, do we want to port GNU C/C++???

Ah, but all these browsers are operating systems in their own right.
Shouldn't we be
porting Plan 9 to Netscape?

So, anyone thinking of porting netscape to Plan 9?  It does, after all,
have one big advantage over mothra:  support for unicode!
