- Thunderbird 17ESR may be the last release created by mozilla
thunderbird developers, all next ones may be driven / developed by
community.

Worst case scenario:
if the community TB attempt goes pear shaped.
Will the Fedora maintainers continue to flog a dying horse.

Work on an exit strategy for the Fedora user base.
Maybe a converter\exporter to workable_optionX

As was said on MozCamp in Poland, there are going to be two Thunderbird versions. The former is the ESR one, developed by Mozilla, and the latter is a featured one developed by community. And Mozilla is going to release security updates (every 6 weeks) for both of them.

So the worst case scenario is that the featured TB version fails to get community contributors and new features and will be the same as the ESR one....which would be IMHO still pretty useful mail client.
