That way you have a trivial band-aid "fix" in case something does break. If nothing breaks, then mozilla-vendor can be put in the attic again after having lived for as short as a couple of days. If something did break then it lives for as long as it takes to fix the breakage. The name (ie mozilla-vendor) does not have to match common parctice or does not have to be intuitive. The port is not created to be used. it's created as a safety-net. You might as well call it mozilla-oops.
