I'm deeply uncomfortable binding toplevel variables, even unexported
ones, that provide non-FSDG-complaint software. I guess that the
primary motivation for this commit was to make it easier to use the
'update-mozilla-locales' helper.
In an earlier message <https://bugs.gnu.org/32026#100>, I suggested an
alternative way to use the code in your proposed
'update-mozilla-locales' helper which would eliminate the need to expose
any *firefox* toplevel variables. I hope you'll find that alternative
approach acceptable, so that we can avoid exposing non-FSDG-compliant
software in our toplevel bindings.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Mark
