there to head off any questions about whether Mozilla has changed support
for ESR mid cycle. It is certainly plausible that OSX 10.6-10.8 users will
want to move to ESR to continue receiving sec updates for the next ~year.
Should we have made this decision and announced it before the 46 release? I
would have liked that. The timing certainly seems better. Should we
continue supporting OSX 10.6-10.8 in Firefox until mid 2017 because we
didn't make this decision a few months ago? I don't think so.
