I would suggest another support policy.
* For cauldron, we always have latest versions of firefox and thunderbird, no matter whether it is ESR.
* For released distros, we always update it till next ESR. i.e., for Mageia 1, we will have FF 9.0.1, 10.0, 10.0.1, 10.0.2, 10.0.3, but not 11.0. If time passed, we will go directly 10.0.x to 17.0 ESR.
* For xulrunner, we always use latest ESR version for cauldron and released distros.

ESR is a 1y extended supported release...
looking at the image we'd be having supported versions for our 9month release
schedule every time... we should totally use this release and not go towards
FF11 for our release.
We've been complaining about the too quick release schedule... this is our
chance!
( i think if the FF maintainer wishes, he could also do backports of the
regular releases... )
i'm hoping everyone agrees? including FF maintainer?
