This was discussed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269811#c7. It's technically possible to do, but it didn't seem worthwhile on Nightly and Aurora.

I intend to make sure that Beta/Release/ESR is configured in such a way that users get the most up to date release possible. Eg: serve 10.6-10.8 users the latest 48.0 point release, then give them a deprecation notice.

Are we going to be showing some kind of notice to affected users upon
Release? That is, if I'm a 10.6 user and I update to Firefox 48, at some
point should I see a message saying I'll no longer receive future updates?

Even better, is there any way to get the update system to automatically
move such users over to 45ESR?

I agree. At least users should get updated to the latest version in their
channel. If not automatically or getting pointed to manually switch to the
latest secure release for their version/channel.

Right now I started a Nightly 40 on 10.6.8 and it simply refused to do any
update at all. That is less then ideal I would say.
