It's going to be stable in one month. Fx 57 release date is 2017-11-14.

Yes, I understand there is an annotation NOT to push Fx 57 to stable - but
I thought that was the purpose of updates testing... software there is
intended to be tested and pushed to stable.

I expect the testing repo is used by experienced users who wish to test software planned for Fedora thus I don't see any problem here.

There are many extensions which aren't yet available for Fx 57 - and we're
effectively moving up the timetable by putting it in updates testing.

Do you think it's better when it suddenly appears on stable at 2017-11-14? I do not.

Will an older version (either 56 or the ESR version, 52) also be included in Fedora 27 as a separate package?

No, we (Red Hat Desktop team) will ship Firefox 57 only as well as Mozilla does. Of course anyone can create/maintain additional Firefox packages (ESR, Developer edition...) for Fedora as I mentioned many times before.

This is also reason why I created this update for testing so early.
