I notice Mozilla have announced that the Rapid Release schedule is 
moving to a 4 week release cycle from next year:

 
https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/09/moving-firefox-to-a-faster-4-week-release-cycle/

Does this mean we will get ESR point releases every 4 weeks as well?

Also, does this mean the ESR major release schedule will have a 3 (or 
4?) point release overlap between major version releases?
