In any case, it doesn't change our policy for the future, I guess, so let's just keep the episode in mind and try not to have something on that scale come up again. ;-) Robert Kaiser -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.

I thought Fx4 had the same lifecycle policy as before.
If you change the cycle, you should discuss and announce that *before* the release, or enterprise users get confused :-( -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.

That basically gives third party developers the power to keep temporarily until the author has updated them, especially now that we have started doing automated version compatibility bumps, so the add-ons on AMO are mostly handled.

Does this mean Fx4 will be maintained until this December (6 months after the Fx5 release), right? We've never heard Fx5 = Fx4 EOL; that's a shocking news. -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.

However, it's a common misconception that the policy promised a full six months of support past the next release. The actual statement in the previous release roadmap reads as follows [1]: > Adoption of a consumer focused support lifecycle where only the current plus the last major release at any given time would be supported with security and stability updates for up to six months following general availability of the current release. The key (and deliberately chosen) wording there is "up to six months" as opposed to "at least six months" meaning we may decide to end support sooner. I do not believe the branch team has made any explicit decisions at this time, but we should avoid making any promises about Firefox 4's EOL date in any official statement at this time. -- Mike You must Sign in before you can post messages.

Ah, please disregard this, I misunderstood. Christian is responsible for making that call, and he's been clear here!
