That is such a non-answer. That's like saying "the rules are no moving 
on two feet but that aside because I don't know how you personally move 
around, it's up to you how to implement that"...

Sorry, I'm an evidence-based person, I don't do faith, it's 
unscientific... The evidence says that whatever the l10n team presentend 
to Branding did not make much difference, we're still being told to 
implement something un-implementable.

So the branding team now run Mozilla? Nobody who sits *above* branding 
who is willing to apply a modicum of common sense and kick some sense 
into branding?

This conversation feels like communicating with Google or Microsoft 
except we don't get paid by Mozilla...
