You and me both, it is amazing how a project (actually both projects, |
16 |
includes thunderbird as well), that were explicitly set up in order to |
17 |
be lightweight alternatives to the suit are so utterly bloated |
18 |
(thunderbird for some reason includes an IRC and xampp clients). It |
19 |
makes security auditing horrible, introduces numberous issues on a broad |
20 |
attack plane and breaks stability. |
