It would be nice if somebody from community would pick up task of keeping fennec up-to-date in CE repos.

fennec has been removed from MeeGo core repos so it will be up to the CE 
people/community to maintain it.

We should however have booster-d for qml apps to enable use of MDeclariveCache. See: http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/guide/html/main.html I've already seen some open source 3rd party harmattan apps that use it and it would be nice if these would work on CE also.

Actually the reason this icon is there is the fact that the image 
doesn't have the config file that changes the icons. So we should be 
fine after configs are in.
