You are right - we can just leave things alone.

This is a bit of a special case as in the past me and others have expressed
special interest in this pkg (that under normal rules would long have been
gone as there are newer firefox versions in pkgsrc) for special technical
reasons. Now there are alternative solutions, so I felt it would be good
to "revoke" the interest more prominently than just letting it bitrot.

But certainly the pkg itself does no big harm.
