Every page on https://www.mozilla.org/ has the tag:
<html class="windows x86 no-js" lang="en" dir="ltr" data-latest-firefox="79.0" data-esr-versions="68.11.0 78.1.0" data-gtm-container-id="GTM-MW3R8V" data-gtm-page-id="Homepage" data-stub-attribution-rate="1.0" >
which shows the data-latest-firefox and data-esr-versions
In the nearly ten years I have monitored that it has only disagreed with 
that directory if one of the mirrors is still synchronising.

Is it safe to deploy this release before the official release calendar date?
