25 Firefox's "Australis" can best be described as "the systemd of GUI's".
26 It's what drove me away from Firefox to Pale moon, in the first place,
27 and I'm not going back.

29 I understand that Anthony is frustrated with uclibc, and is working on
30 replacing it with the uclibc-ng fork in the uclibc stage 3. I've run
31 into other issues, besides gstreamer, in uclibc. Hopefully, uclibc-ng
32 will have fewer issues. For now, I'll simply wait until the uclibc-ng
33 stage 3 comes out.
