Tails

There are a few inconsistencies in the “release schedule” page ( https://tails.boum.org/contribute/release_schedule/ ):

• “The idea is to put a major Tails release out every 12 weeks, plus a point release in between.” This does not appear to be what’s currently happening. Instead, Tails is released every 8 weeks, sometimes sooner if the Firefox ESR schedule allows. As for point releases, those do seem to go out on an as-needed basis right now, as far as I can tell.

• “The second number is even for major release (introducing new features), and odd for minor release (that only fix bugs).” That is inconsistent with what I see on https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/tails/roadmap where, for example, Tails 3.9 is marked as a major release (odd second number) and Tails 3.8 is marked as a bugfix release (even second number). There is also some ambiguity as to the term “bugfix release”: does it refer to the Firefox ESR release, or Tails as a whole?

• The Google Calendar linked to is not in fact for Firefox ESR. It is for Firefox releases. The best link I was able to find for Firefox ESR releases is https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar .
