We've chosen not to ship ESR in the past, AIUI, because we think our
target audiences generally prefer to get the main Firefox release
stream, they don't want the ESR stream. We could change that decision,
of course. I don't personally think a one-off ouch-y event like this
would entirely justify such a change, but it'd be interesting to know
if the Quantum stuff means a series of such ouch-y events might
potentially be coming to the main release stream.
