            Bug ID: 222859
           Summary: continue to port and maybe package www/firefox 56.x
                    for some time after 57 is released
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ge...@freebsd.org
          Reporter: grahamper...@gmail.com
             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(ge...@freebsd.org)
          Assignee: ge...@freebsd.org

Expect: 

* <http://www.freshports.org/www/firefox> to step from 56.x to 57.0; and 
* <http://www.freshports.org/www/firefox-esr> to remain at 52.x 

– and remain at 52.x for a limited period as defined at 
<https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar#Future_branch_dates>

Issue
=====

The limitation to 52.x will be troublesome for users whose workflows require,
or will require: 

* a greater version of Firefox
* but not 57.

Cross reference
===============

1406737 - ESR: extended support for a Firefox 56.x release
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1406737>

– expect more rationale under that Mozilla bug.

Thanks
