Comment # 7 on bug 1053314 from Andreas Stieger

I do not think that we should have discussions like this on Bugzilla. The
package was switched from the fast release cycle to the ESR at 55 time in order
to not having to do continuous updates of dependencies, as suitable for Leap
maintenance. 

That being said it is entirely feasible for Tumbleweed to follow the fast
release cycle. This includes the drop of i586 which is not unprecedented
(chromium). The fact that this has not happened yet should not be followed up
by every person wanting it filing a bug, as if to track their special interest.
I suggest that you pick up the discussion on the list to bring it to a
resolution.

Personally I would not even want parallel versions in Tumbleweed. Leap
maintenance likewise has no need for the mozilla:Factory/MozillaFirefox devel
package to be close to what is in Tumbleweed.

Obviously the maintainers are aware of the upstream ESR timeline. Would it not
be reasonable to expect the maintainers to go to the next ESR by then. What
speaks for the fast releases in Tumbleweed is that it would drive packaging and
updating of dependencies, so as to not build up a larger chunk of work.

When I resolve the issue as moved, that does not mean that I claim your issue
to be resolved on the mailing. I merely think that it should be discussed
there.
