Does it mean Fedora will stop shipping the latest FF/TB and stick to ESR
instead? Or is it for parallel-installation purposes?
Unlikely and IMHO unwanted (at least from my side) afacis, as other
answers already indicated. But that is not the reason for this mail.
This is:
Has anybody considered to package the ESR releases for Fedora or is the
general consensus "that doesn't make much sense, just leads to confusion
and is not worth the trouble". I now and then could need a parallel
installed Firefox ESR for a Webinterface that officially only supports
ESR releases. I can simply install one in my homedir, but it would be
nice to have it yum-installable from the stock Fedora repos (but the
problem does not bug me enough to submit a package myself).
