My apologies for jumping to conclusions, that wasn't very mature of me. |

I don't know all the reasons, and I am not a developer. But from what I |
| 15 |
can tell several older ebuilds still in the portage tree that depend on |
| 16 |
mozilla like nautilus, galeon, evolution etc. use it to find where |
| 17 |
mozilla is at for things like linking, etc. For the newest versions of |
| 18 |
those packages, however, it is no longer being used. And up-to-date |
| 19 |
versions of galeon, evolution and mozilla all seem to work fine without |
| 20 |
it being set. |
