Thunderbird nightly builds are currently running on Taskcluster. But our current release builds are running on Buildbot, which Firefox Release Engineering would like to turn off as soon as possible. To avoid keeping Buildbot around for another 42 weeks, we’d like to complete the Taskcluster migration now, before we release 60.0.</span></p>

Manual-only updates (and updates via downloads) allows us to do a slow rollout to users, to get more user feedback than is possible during the beta period. Automatic updates will be enabled when we are satisfied that we have sufficient numbers of users and a sufficient level of quality - a process that typically takes some weeks.</span></span></p>
