SeaMonkey does not have the manpower to both maintain an ESR/LTS version *and*
keep up with the non-ESR Firefox/Thunderbird releases. I've asked them about
this before, and asked again just now. There will not be an ESR SeaMonkey. As
soon as SeaMonkey 2.15 is released (equivalent to Firefox/Thunderbird 18),
SeaMonkey 2.14 will go EOL.

It isn't that they don't want to. They'd love to. They just lack the resources.
Now, if someone wants to volunteer to maintain an ESR SeaMonkey branch... :P
