My view: up to now, UAs have been in continuous retreat, with greater lengthenings. First there was Mozilla/X.X - but then too many people sniffed that, and so it got stuck. And so on. At last, we've finally figured out that what people should be looking for is rendering engines, not browser versions. WebKit has WebKit/foo, Gecko has Gecko/bar, and so on. This has the potential to stop this ridiculous ever-lengthening UA string problem. It would be a great shame to give up on that for the sake of a small handful of sites. And it is a small handful - the bug in question had 29 dependencies last time I looked, and not all of them are relevant to Camino. On the other hand, as I said in another message, we need to do better than just tell the Camino team to suck it up. And I hope we can come up with a plan for that.
