Beyond that: the vast majority of applications available for Fedora will
not be installed by default - it's not much of a carrot to tell an upstream
application author that they need to conform the basedir standard to be
included by default, when they *won't* be installed by default.
If we want Firefox to conform to the basedir spec we need to try to achieve
that by communication and possibly providing help with it - not by policy.
I agree with this entirely.
