The way you put the facts is not quite correct. It may be true that Thunderbird 78.0 might still lack some OpenPGP functionality or contain bugs that will need fixing. But whether or not Thunderbird 78.1 or 78.x will contain new features or bugfixes is up to the decision of the Thunderbird developers, and has nothing to do with modularity or decisions taken by Mozilla. Furthermore, Thunderbird is free to choose its own release cycle. It's entirely the decision of the Thunderbird developers to base their releases on Firefox ESR releases. And it's exclusively the decision of the Thunderbird developers when exactly TB 78 will be released, and whether or not to wait for some parts of some module to be ready. History has shown that some TB releases followed Firefox ESR releases almost immediately, while other releases were delayed for up to 2 months. -Patrick
