No I said. The logical step from aurora would switch to beta. Beta is 2.51 at
the moment. 2.50 is the current release.
If you compile yourself clone comm-esr52 and apply the patch for bug 1353765:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1353765
This gives you 2.49.1 which has all security patches from 2.50 Fx 53. The 2.49
esr line will be the basis for the the next stable releases as stated. 2.50+
still have some problems which are fixed but not as fast as usual and you
might end up with a broken build in the future. 2.54 based on gecko 57 might
become a tough cookie depending on how fast classic extension and theme
support is to be removed.
2.49 and 2.50 profiles should be interchangeable but if you see an indexDB
error in the error console blow away the storage folder, storage.* and
webappsstore* from you profile.
There are changes in favicon handling in 2.52 and such a profile might not be
100% compatible with an older version.

Excuse me for still being confused. :)
I know you said to move to Adrian's beta, but where does he get the
source? I checked out comm-beta and compiled it, and it says 2.51. But I
see also there is a 2.48b1.
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/2.48b1/
So what have I ended up with? I don't particularly want to go back from
2.51, but maybe if none of the structures in the profile changed it
wouldn't matter.

No, only the aurora a2 channel has been discontinued by Mozilla. Looking at
recent code quality and other issues a mistake imho but telling the world how
stable the current release process became made a good press release and that
is all what seems to count :)
The logical step is to switch to beta.

The next releases after 2.48 will be from the ESR branch (2.49.x) for
some time. They will contain only bug and security fixes. The next
planned release after 2.49.x is 2.56 ESR. Depending on the fallout after
Firefox 57 it might never come to this but we will see. The a2 aurora
versions have been discontinued. Please switch to 2.52a1 or Adrians
release/beta versions. I can not tell you when the next beta will
arrive. Getting 2.48 and 2.49.1 out have absolute priority.
I see a bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1322172 which I
don't have access to, so I guess it has security implications. :(
It is in the mail component and not a bad one.

I thought the 'A' releases were being discontinued totally, not just the 'A2'
releases!
So the switch should be to the 'B' releases, shouldn't it??
