Fedora Core avoids including many programs that have similar 
functionality. In general the preference is to just ship the defaults. 
Firefox has been the default browser in Fedora.

The mozilla suite has been included in Fedora Core because many 
applications such Yelp which need a HTML rendering engine were build 
against this. Now that they have all been built against Firefox, 
seamonkey was reviewed and included in Fedora Extras which obsoletes the 
Fedora Core mozilla suite. The long term plan is to use XULRunner instead.

Seamonkey is still maintained by Red Hat in Fedora Extras and is also 
included in recent versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux updates.
