Comment:
Icecat is a little more than just rebranding firefox-esr AFAICT: LibeJS, privacy enhancing configuration changes, removal of non-free or user rights restricting extensions (DRM, EME), removal of telemetry. See https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Gnuzilla
The current situation is unsatisfying because since 78.x there are no official tarballs but just the `makeicecat` script suite which applies patches and creates the tarball. I'd love to avoid having to build the tarballs, yet I don't know when gnuzilla will resume publishing them again.
If you want to remove icecat, please do. Just don't count on me for explaining to anyone why it was removed.
