Could be also good have a minimal feedback from distro packagers. I
suppose that even though all relevant GNOME Desktop modules will be
switched to WebKitGtk, distros will continue to provide Firefox as
standard browser. So Fedora or Ubuntu, for example, will have to put
both Firefox (default browser) and WebKitGtk (as HTML rendering
library for Yelp Help Browser) in their install CD.

But they have a constraint on size, 700MB. Due to this, Ubuntu don't
provide the GIMP own help browser.
