Oh lordy, no! It's hard enough diverting engineering work to supporting
a single ESR 9 months after the fork. Why would we do two of them? How
would a relbranch differ from ESR?

We have data about this. Unfortunately we'd also have to kick out some
Windows 7 users. For every ten WinXP Firefox users without SSE2 we have a
Win7 Firefox user without

IIRC ESRs are stable for a period but when we uplift we uplift
everything new.
For this XP relbranch we would only take security patches.
It would serve the purpose of keeping our users secure where they're but
saving some

This assumes that

According to the longitudinal dataset, SP2 is roughly 16% of the Windows XP
population, with the rest SP3. So, still some millions of users.
