BS.
Nothing more need be said.
Well, might just say that everything they said is utter BS (not even "fake news"), is the total opposite of what they stated.
They throw out drek, knowingly, "because they have a schedule" to adhere to.
What a joke.

I don't believe in these super frequent release cycles (apart from delivering security updates reasonably fast).
Let's see how it works and then decide, if a switch to the ESR version may be appropriate.

Security updates can always be handled with a dot release, as is the case currently (like with
69.0.1).
There is nothing to be gained by going to a yet more rabid release policy.
What there is now is bad enough. No stability. No consistency.
And they're going to go even faster!
Faster, much like Quantum, is not necessarily better.
And even faster, as it is, is often broken (like with the usage of Profile Manager, requiring a 5-second
delay).
So they tout - fast, fast, fast, & then they stick with a "feature" that is broken that negates everything that they have ever done, everything that they have ever said, about "fast".
