Umm... we do use OOo-bin already. We can't really switch to FF-bin, |
| 9 |
though we can ship it (size dependending), since FF is a dependency of a |
| 10 |
couple other things we ship. Evolution is *not* a large package, and |
| 11 |
doesn't take long to compile, nor is there a -bin version. We can |
| 12 |
definitely switch to TB-bin, though. |
