</I>
I'm almost certain that Seamonkey, which is more conservative in
introducing new features than Firefox, will effectively have a long-term
release.
Thunderbird is generally more conservative than Seamonkey, on the email
side.

</I>
We probably will reduce the number of updates as well. Before this
frenetic pace of a new version every 6 weeks, Firefox often went 2 or 3
months without an update, when there had been no bugs with security
implications. I expect that the ESR version would likely follow the
same practice.
Even if not, in addition to less risk of regressions, no new features
should be easier to test. (The same tests every time.)
