How much demand is necessary?
I currently maintain the seamonkey locker for the SeaMonkey web
browser (http://www.seamonkey-project.org/). It'd be great if it
could be included in the release to save on startup time, and to make
updating easier. While there is some demand, it's admittedly not that
high.
I'm aware of some SeaMonkey users other than me, although they
probably don't use the locker when on Athena. (I often end up just
using Firefox because of the seamonkey AFS startup time, although
whenever I want to use mail and don't want alpine for whatever reason,
I will end up launching seamonkey).
