Not strictly true:

Thunderbird 17.0.7 was released on June 25th.

They go on to say:

Given that "innovation" in this field has led me to also look to migrate
away from Kontact & Kmail2 after many years of happy use I'm considering
moving to Thunderbird at home too.

I've been using TB at work for ages (because I can use it with Lightning
and Davmail to access the Uni exchange calendar system).

All the best,
Chris
