Looking at it right now, the extensions which aren't compatible with F57 have a yellow 'LEGACY' tag on them, but that's all. Clicking on it takes you to a page with an explanation, but I only just discovered that; it's not obvious and there's no explanation on the addons page itself of what 'LEGACY' means. > > I even had a specific presentation @work on Firefox ESR and what it > means in terms of compatibility breakage a few months ago, even > though we are not an IT company and would be classified as extremely > conservative, not too FLOSS-friendly, late to change and sold out to > Microsoft on the desktop by outsiders (the reality is much more > nuanced and we have a large Firefox deployment internally).

It's our job to mediate change for our users, not to just pass it along and wash our hands of it by saying upstream was telling them about it. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
