[Mageia-dev] FireFox ESR <= we should totally go for this wrt stable releases

Mon Feb 6 08:27:42 CET 2012

The key is, we always have the latest series of supported product line from
+upstream, neither latest version nor latest supported version.
+
+And, such an update policy is based on the imagination of 70% of Mageia 2
+users will upgrade to Mageia 3 immediately when released.
