Thx lot.
Not only Iceweasel but also other packages, and
not only Parabola but also Arch,
I always believe downloading from upper stream
as much as possible, is much better in terms of
security clarity.

BTW, in the Redmine, mtjm (Michał?) said no need to remove them,
but you are keeping removing. Is this because of Patent
although they are open source?

best.  Taro
