Hi, |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
someone always brings that up. I think it might be right when mixing |
| 17 |
packages randomly. But not everybody is doing that. |
| 18 |
Let's say: I only like to have personas for firefox. Unmasking firefox, |
| 19 |
xulrunner, nss and two more will not bring you in the problem mentioned. |
| 20 |
In general I believe this is true for any program as long as it doesn't |
| 21 |
need a general library or anything like that unmasked. |
