Thanks, I'd appreciate if you wrote the blog post.

If I were to decide, then I would wanna end PureBrowser fork *now* 
before next release expected in few weeks, and expected to reintroduce 
Mozilla- and Google-promoting stuff currently ripped out.

To clarify, I do *not* imply that I consider Epiphany mature enough to 
fully replace PureBrowser: I expect some users to continue to need a 
Mozilla-based (or Chromium-based) browser.

I expect users to be grumpy no matter if we drop PureBrowser or keep it.

But am I really the one to decide here?  PureBrowser has been promoted 
as something estraordinary in PureOS, cemented by glueing a couple 
addons to it.  My judgement here does not take that into account.
