Indeed, firefox-beta must be obsoleted on stable release like chrome's
similar versions are as we don't have maintaner who wants to keep them
up-to-date on stable releases.
I agree with D.Morgan that if we want to continue with ESR version then
cauldron will stay on 10.0 (not sure how we can have newer versions of
beta if they depend on the same packages).
And it's also true that we will lose some users if they don't want to
use tarball version and will pick distro that can keep browsers
up-to-date. Sad, but true.
