Re: [gentoo-dev] Netscape Packages

I have no problems keeping it around, but renaming 4.x to either 
"netscape-communicator" or "netscape-navigator" for the actual 
executable binaries.

You follow?

By no means do I want to get rid of netscape 4.x (though I would like to 
see the project die a horrible death, the code is a mess, and it's older 
than hell.). I know it's one of the standards out there, but even 
netscape's customers are being pushed towards 6.x.
