There are two cases here, the Netscape one, yes is close to none.
However as you pointed out there are download agents using Mozilla/3.0.
How certain are we that the second hack case for that agent string is
not aimed at a popular one of them?

FWIW: +1 from me, I'm game to try and kill this on performance grounds
and push to get any remaining broken agents fixed.
