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.
