Comment(by Sebastian):
Oh, interesting. Looks like esr releases don't get mirrored to
releases.mozilla.org, but good to know they're out there.
When looking just at the build process and what we'd need to do to support
esr for stable releases and regular for alphas, that should be fairly easy
to do. I do worry that it'd be a higher burden on you tho, because you'd
get to fix up to sets of patches rather than one. Another question is what
happens when there's a fix in a newer firefox version that isn't deemed
high impact enough by mozilla to be backported to esr, do we backport it
ourselves? How do we keep track of such things?
If we can answer those questions to a sane extend, there shouldn't be much
stopping us from following that scheme.
