Second, we will branch ESR from 60 instead of 59.
Too bad for Tails, we had already based quite some plans on the assumption that Tor Browser would most likely switch to ESR59 on July 3. Anyways:
I guess this implies that Tor Browser stable releases will likely switch to ESR60 on 2018-08-28, when ESR52 stops being supported. Right?
Yes.
Is this something we at Tails should rely on, or should we be prepared to the — maybe less likely — possibility that the switch happens earlier, e.g. on 2018-07-03?
No. We need as much time as we can get to test Tor Browser 8 between ESR 60 is getting out/being in beta and the need to switch to this new series. So, there is no plan release Tor Browser on 2018-07-03.
