No; it just means that the fate of XP/Vista is tied to how long we wish
to maintain ESR52. We can stop maintaining it any time we want, it's
just that with that, we will stop supporting those OSes.

We should put in place a plan to change the home page for XP/Vista
users, once support expires, to "this operating system is no longer
supported, has known security holes and is dangerous to use on the web
with any browser, not just Firefox. Please consider upgrading your
operating system or replacing your computer."
