There is lots of supporting evidence.  Namely: "As part of the faster 
cadence, FF5.0 automatically EOL's when FF6.0 is released with users 
getting silent updates."  -- 8 weeks between 5 and 6 and after that 
every release will be 6 weeks.

They've only made a temporary exception for FF 4 and 3.[5,6] but mostly 
only for chemspills, otherwise you probably won't see many advances to 
those versions of Firefox.

It must be nice under that rock if you've not heard the news by now ;)
