Share your thoughts on ESR Release Cadence
We would love your feedback in our current cadence of Firefox
Extended Support releases.
Today, an ESR life cycle spans between 9 months to a year. We would
like to understand if a shorter life cycle, with more releases each
year, would help meet the needs of you and your organization.
We believe faster cycles will allow more flexibility to back port
features and functionality to the ESR and will reduce occurrence of
web app compatibility issues that arise due to the ESR being too
outdated. While the ESR helps lower QA overhead through less frequent
updates, would a biannual release bring more benefits to you? Please
chime in on this feedback form<https://forms.gle/jdwWYKQ3inqP3jwL9>.
I think the current (approx) yearly major version release is about right
for us
I guess if you went to (say) a 6 monthly major version release, then you
would need to keep a 6 month overlap - with each major release supported
for a year - i.e. always have the latest and previous release supported
I notice Mozilla have announced that the Rapid Release schedule is
moving to a 4 week release cycle from next year:
https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/09/moving-firefox-to-a-faster-4-week-release-cycle/
Does this mean we will get ESR point releases every 4 weeks as well?
Also, does this mean the ESR major release schedule will have a 3 (or
4?) point release overlap between major version releases?
Thanks
