Yes.  I was simply answering the question of why the difference
between mozilla and seamonkey, explaining that seamonkey is replacing
mozilla, both the use flag and the app.  For apps that can use firefox as
well, unless the Gentoo dev maintaining a specific app decided to change
the default for some reason, the new rules for choosing between firefox
and seamonkey should be directly parallel to the old ones for choosing
between firefox and mozilla.
