The browser one is funny. I know MANY people who will be upset if it's
not firefox, period. That has nothing to do with being pro, neutral or
against KDE, but simple expectation that Firefox is the flag ship open
source thing for many people (they met it first on Windows and started
to take open source more serious, now they look at linux), and they
expect it to be there at least as integrated as the Windows Firefox is.

Firefox also isn't the gnome default browser, but still I think Fedora
does the right thing to overrule BOTH desktops and give people what they
want.
