Wasn't it recently dropped out of Puppy Linux, in favour of Opera? Someone
mentioned Seamonkey to me over a year ago (didn't know about it at the
time). Ever since, it has not been adopted by many. Some applications are
better off apart, rather than excessively integrated (even where it's
irrational). It leads to bloat (resources) and complexity, so unless you
have a good reason for interaction between components (e.g. using
extensions), the joining is too artificial.
Best wishes,
Roy
