ESR is a 1y extended supported release...
looking at the image we'd be having supported versions for our 9month release
schedule every time... we should totally use this release and not go towards
FF11 for our release.
We've been complaining about the too quick release schedule... this is our
chance!
( i think if the FF maintainer wishes, he could also do backports of the
regular releases... )
i'm hoping everyone agrees? including FF maintainer?
seems we should stuck to FF 10 as default release for mageia2.
I don't have strong opinion about this choice.
some various points that we should take into account:
- I didn't find recent official announcement about ESR for other mozilla
applications (Thunderbird, Seamonkey/Iceape, ...); I think that we
should have consistent versions, at least for Firefox and Thunderbird.
- mozilla updates without security fixes are uncommon, so we will not
reduce the number of update with ESR; the update will only have less
changes, so less risk of regressions.
- If we don't choose Firefox ESR, we should at least consider using ESR
for xulrunner.
