I'm not saying that, at all.  I just don't think that using the current 
ESR before the last one is EOL is the wrong thing to do. To the best of 
my knowledge, Mozilla supports users making that switch whenever they 
have completed testing.  The automatic upgrade doesn't happen when the 
last release is EOL because that's the "right thing", it's just because 
that's the deadline.  That's when users no longer have a choice (other 
than to continue running unsupported software).

No.
