Correct.

Yes, we hope to have e10s activated at least on Linux and macOS in the
final release. Windows might not make it in time, though.

There will be more nightly builds and even alphas with e10s on before
we'll support it on the release channel. I even hope we'll have one or
more nightlies with e10s enabled available before the first esr52-based
alpha is getting out.
