Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Firefox 52.0 ESR - The first Electrolysis-based ESR version

[Gary]

I'm not quite sure anyone realizes what it takes to maintain a small project like this and keep it up to date in line with a project from an organization with paid employees like Firefox & Mozilla -- especially considering how many changes Firefox has seen in recent months. https://www.ghacks.net/2017/03/07/cyberfox-proclaims-death-of-web-browser/

Even the ESR branch offers no guarantee of stability:

Which leads me to wonder how many people use IceCat versus how many that actually contribute to the project?

    This is the first ever released Firefox ESR that is based on Electrolysis, as the previous version was 45.8.0

When can we expect IceCat 52.0?
