Very unpleasant. I just did a normal update on F32, and tbird 78.3.1 was installed. Now my calendar is gone. Why would a breaking version of tbird be pushed to a stable release?

In testing the upcoming F33 release I noticed that it has included thunderbird-78.3.1-1.
I decided that I wanted to test the newest TBird but didn't want to go through the process of setting up
accounts. So, I downloaded this new release from F32 updates-testing. What could go wrong?
IMHO, big mistake. I found that none of the extensions that I use with thunderbird-68.11.0-1 are compatible
with the version 78. This includes Enigmail. I was also unable to get calendar working. With TBird 68
I have a local calendar as well as 3 synced Google calendars.
I switched back to using 68 and had to figure out how to get my calendars back.
In addition, the update to version 78 managed to delete all the entries in my address book. I do nightly
backups so it was easy to recover.
I wonder if I've done something out of the ordinary or if other users will run into similar pain.
I think this came up on AskFedora too:

Thunderbird 78 seems to be a major "breaking" upgrade:
