Someone who updates or debugs mozilla ports will have to build both
mozilla and mozilla-embedded. Since mozilla-lite IMO would be an
optional port maintained outside of the FreeBSD GNOME I'd vote for
keeping mozilla-embedded to be slave of the main mozilla port.

Yes, but from the POV of people maintaining
mozilla/mozilla-embedded/mozilla-headers this really makes a
difference (1 huge build vs. 2x1 huge build) and I think that their
interests should be respected as well.

Will see.
