I don't see any conflict between Fedora's policy and Mozilla's policy. Both say that if you redistribute and change code you have to re-trademark. Those policies are fair and sensible. We can either patch and re-trademark Firefox or ship upstream. One of the values of Fedora is stay close to upstream. Another value is the Firefox brand. This is a no-brainer choice for Fedora: ship upstream Firefox. I really can't believe this thread is as long as it is.
It's not a no-brainer at all, because, as you say:
The only possible room for debate that I see is that there is, in Firefox, a potential conflict between our "ship upstream" and "don't bundle libs" values. We have FESco to sort that out.
and because that's a MUST policy whereas staying close to upstream is a SHOULD. So IMHO the no-brainer is that the MUST policy has to be followed and that Firefox must be rebranded if that's the only way to follow it.
