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

[Funda Wang]

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.
