'''Update 2014-02-11''' The original plan for ESR was to do 3 extended support releases and then potentially EOL that branch and its associated resources.  However as we've gotten more streamlined about supporting the ESR releases alongside mainline Firefox it's become fairly trivial to keep this branch running and with the mailing list becoming community-driven, even more so.  As such there is no plan at this time to end ESR releases, the next ESR version will be 31 and each subsequent one will be 8 version numbers higher.  At some point down the road we might need to reclaim the resources ESR uses, perhaps turn over the build generation to community, or other issues with backporting security fixes might become blockers that result in this branch being to rest.

For now, we'll continue the cadence and structure that has worked for the past 2+ years.
