I notice Mozilla have announced that the Rapid Release schedule is moving to
a 4 week release cycle from next year:

Does this mean we will get ESR point releases every 4 weeks as well?
Also, does this mean the ESR major release schedule will have a 3 (or 4?)
point release overlap between major version releases?
That link says:
Starting Q1 2020, we plan to ship a major Firefox release every 4 weeks.
Firefox ESR release cadence (Extended Support Release for the enterprise)
will remain the same. In the years to come, we anticipate a major ESR
release every 12 months with 3 months support overlap between new ESR
and end-of-life of previous ESR. The next two major ESR releases will
be ~June 2020 and ~June 2021.
A 3 month support overlap suggests a 3 or 4 point-release overlap to me.
June-September is probably the best time for a 3 month overlap for the
many northern-hemisphere universities that work on a September-June
academic year, but I don't know how well it will work in the southern
hemisphere or anywhere else with a calendar-year academic year.
