We use our own binaries though.

My primary concern is about vulnerabilities. Mark has been doing a
great job applying patches for IceCat vulnerabilities in Guix while
waiting for patched IceCat releases.
Ideally, this patching would occur directly in IceCat itself, quickly
followed by releases.
Now, if it turns out that those demands cannot be fulfilled, for
instance due to limited development resources on IceCat, then we may
want to consider joining forces with Debian’s Iceweasel team instead.
It’s a discussion to have with the IceCat maintainer, obviously.
WDYT?
Ludo’.
