I peeked into a spec of http://kuix.de/misc/seamonkey-1.0.5-0.4.fc4.src.rpm
from comment $5.  It does not look to me that what this produces will
work as a replacement and a security update of mozilla.  Results could
be installed side-by-side with an old mozilla, extras style, and do not
provide 'mozilla' named binary.  This leaves all problems open as it is
not possible on FC4 and earlier to delete 'mozilla'  without doing the
same with a number of other packages.  Did I miss something in that spec?
A package given in
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-legacy-list/2006-September/msg00019.html
may need improvents but it does not suffer from the affliction above.

It is true that replacing 'mozilla' requires new versions/recompilation
of other things (yelp for sure, thunderbird I think, maybe more) but they
use at least mozilla provided libraries and if there are security holes
there then these old versions are affected in the same way.
