You are correct, that is an exaggeration. It does not change the fact that during the lifetime of ESR 10 I will have to spend time testing a new Firefox release a total of eight times, possibly communicating with all users to set expectations, possibly updating documentation, possibly creating workarounds. All so that I can be sure that our workstations are up-to-date with security fixes. As a business we have zero interest in the latest gee-whiz features. We do have an interest in application stability, easy change management, and reduced end-user support.
I understand the motivations for following the Mozilla rapid release schedule. I appreciate the desire to please the home computer users. I respect the hard work and dedication of all the developers that make Ubuntu happen. But I do need to register my discontent with not offering the option of Mozilla ESR releases.
