Sure, and Fedora had the choice of
- shipping Firefox
- shipping Firefox ESR
- shipping Firefox and Firefox ESR
And the good time to make this choice was at ESR branching, and
Mozilla communicated a very detailed roadmap beforehand to help
distributors and anyone else that ships a desktop that includes
Firefox to make the best choice for their users. It is already
communicating on the changes that will occur at the next branch point
next year BTW.
You may well have a point, but the fact is, that didn't happen, and we
don't have a time machine handy. So it's a good note for the future,
but it doesn't really help us resolve this current situation. We still
have choices about what we can *actually* do *right now* given that we
didn't do what you suggested.
