<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Can I have a little more clarification on this?
As an add-on author, I always tried to keep my add-ons working during
the daily/beta release cycle.
I think you are telling us add-on developers now too, that it doesn't
make much sense in trying to keep our XUL Legacy add-on or
bootstrapped add-on compatible with Thunderbird 71.0a1 or later,
because it won't work in Thunderbird 72.0a1 or 73.0a1 anyway, let
alone in Thunderbird 78.
Is that also what you implied?

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Yes that is correct. Support for non-WebExtension add-on will be
dropped, so "keeping up" won't help, unless you convert it to a
supported format.

And do you think SeaMonkey will follow suit(e)?
I mean, they share your infrastructure, so they can't keep using
addons.thunderbird.net.
And maybe there will ever be a SeaMonkey 2.57 or SeaMonkey 2.65, which
will hopefully support the same add-ons as Thunderbird 60 and 68 does.
But they can also stay on 2.49 and keep backporting security patches,
but then they must probably do the same for a future
addons.seamonkey-project.org or something like that...
