The bigger issue for me is we support one browser across platforms, and 
that is Firefox. We have tooling using the CCK and puppet to support 
Firefox. Changing supported browsers is a "*BIG DEAL*". _Adding_ a 
supported browser is a "big deal".

So it's very useful to have an option to have things work in Firefox.
