Honestly, now there is not much to do in IceCat.  It is just a matter to
rebuild the packages when a new Firefox version is out.

I think it is a bad idea to introduce other differences between IceCat
and Firefox, in fact I always tried to reduce them as much as I could.
The wish is that someday these small changes will be used by Mozilla,
directly in Firefox or in a Libre version.

A good thing would be hack the application used by addons.mozilla.org
adding a "Libre-only mode" to show only free components.  Later, when we
have it, we can ask Mozilla hackers to consider this feature.  So if
somebody is interested :-)
