Francesco, the answer to your question on why 2.5 got branched earlier : https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/mozilla.dev.platform/e71M1z0YE_g
Platform made their own decision without seeing where they would break. We were forced into moving to 2.6 because of the 44 to 45 branch and we're locking 2.5 to 44. We (QA) were just as confused when we found this out on friday. Effectively they terminated our 2.5 project foxfooding early as we have no Aries 2.6 and 2.5 builds on taskcluster even as of today. We're back on testing on flame as buildbot is still pumping out the 2.5 / 2.6 builds in the interim.
