Thanks for the info - as has been previously pointed out, can the 
RapidRelease/Calendar page at 
https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar be updated with this 
change from ESR 59 to ESR 60 ?

The docs at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/EnterprisePolicies state:

However, it isn't clear what will take precedence if you use policy 
engine and one of the above existing tools ?

I guess it's no coincidence that the example JSON file file looks a lot 
like the .cfg file created CCK2 :-) and the current listed Policies are 
a subset of what CCK2 currently supports - is the plan to eventually 
support all that CCK2 offers?

Thanks
