With all due respect to the programmers at Netscape, the Communicator code just isn't worth it. It needs to eventually die away. That's why mozilla has been designed from the ground up.
The early code for communicator 5 was what was first released so some of the code from version 4 should be there. It's still downloadable as 'classic Mozilla'. I believe it had the configurable chrome too. But it was than replaced with the current incarnation of Mozilla and the chrome had to be built into it again.
Anyway, everything seems to be heading in the right direction. Outside development is starting to pick up in addition to the steady development going that's going on. For example, a new project has been started to add MathML to mozilla. Cool! We just might get MathML, finally.
Covering up the identity of your server will not prevent someone from trying out the exploits anyhow. They just will be going through a longer list of expoloits to see which one will work. As long as you're hooked to the net you're open to exploits no matter what.
Please correct me if I'm wrong (or just shoot me if you feel like it) but this seems to be a case of security through obscurity.
Besides, I often check out what server someone is running out of curiosity if I can't tell from visiting their site (*.asp is is a dead giveaway but what about *.html?something=oranother ?). Seeing Apache in the headers always brings a smile to my face.

I believe this falls under the planned category:

yes but it's not Mozilla. A very important distinction for me.

It does, but not completely

I'm using ImageMagick in some Per/CGI work. It's really cool. I can read one format of image, resize and save it as another in 3 lines of code.
