I think that exaggerates the situation.  We release a modified version
of Firefox, with our own changes that mostly do not get installed
upstream.  We could do that with Linux if we needed to.

So far, there has been no need to do that, and I hope there won't be a
need.  But we are not trapped.  I see this as an issue of some concern
but no reason for alarm.
