Also we might be able to forward-port patches from the latest ESR.
Though that would not be overly nice to upstream. They took the pain of creating,
documenting and supporting two specific update streams to coordinate this change, I'm
quite sure they would be very cross with Fedora if it invented some sort of mongrel update
path at the last minute (besides how would it work for extensions, they rely on the
Firefox version having a specific meaning, are we going to requalify all the existing
extension universe?).
If Fedora is getting cold feet at the last minute the best solution would be to package
ESR separately and make it available for people that don't really want to be
"First". It's probable Mozilla will use the next ESR branching for similar
invasive changes anyway now it's been set up.
And yes downgrading from current to ESR is going to cause breakage, but it's a bit
late to change gears without breakage one way or another. Consistent breakage with
upstream is way better than Fedora-specific breakage
At least, IMHO
