Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:2 gk]:
 > mcs/brade: What had been the reason for not using `esr` as the update
 channel for the stable series, given that Tor Browser is based on that
 series?

 Kathy and I don't remember all of the details, but probably we knew we
 needed two update channels for our public releases and chose `release` and
 `alpha`. At this point (assuming we want to support the enterprise policy
 features), it might be easiest to patch the code mentioned in comment:1.
