Well, Linuxulator allows me to use binary only applications of Linux in 
FreeBSD without too much problem.
I think running Firefox in the Linuxulator is nonsense, because it's 
supposed that Linuxulator is there for applications that can not be 
ported to FreeBSD (for example: the code is not open, you bough a 
privative linux-or-windows-only binary app). Naturally the Linuxulator 
will always lag behind Linux, but it works for me and I bet I'm not the 
only one.

I think it should only be removed if

1) no one wants to maintain it
2) It obstructs the development of new code.

Otherwise, I see no logical reason in this.


Regards, Alex.
