Could you also elaborate a bit on what's realistic for extension developers? My extension is compatible with Thunderbird 52, 60 and 68, and also with SeaMonkey 2.49 and 2.53, but in order to be compatible with multiple versions I detect the Gecko version and that will probably fail for SeaMonkey 2.53 when it stays on Gecko 52 (or is it 60?) and it backports functionality from TB/Gecko 60+. Also TB developers have announced that they will drop support for XUL overlay extensions in TB 71 beta, so I have little motivation in updating my extension at all, but I don't want to leave my SeaMonkey userbase in the cold either...
