No, it's more akin to the switch from Gnome 2 to Gnome 3: lots of changes all over the place, old trusted features gone, replacements not totally there and in any case different requiring user adaptation.

Which all means our release planning is too focused on Gnome and not enough thought is put into the roadmap of major non-Gnome desktop apps such as Firefox or Libreoffice. I'd argue that this kind of Firefox change is way more impacting for our users than the latest gnome settings redesign.

Too late to switch to ESR now, the best outcome would be to make FF57 a major feature of F27 (since it will be), ship it (even as prerelease) from day 1 and pretend that was always what our release engineering intended to do.
