So if we don't do CBB we don't get Edge and if we do CBB and an update breaks something in testing we are screwed at the end of the deferral period? Tough choice, my users like Chrome already so I guess they won't really miss Edge and my experience thus far with edge has been iffy so I'm still leaning towards LTSB.

For example, some number of months after the release of a new feature upgrade, security updates will be dependent on that new feature upgrade.

And to clarify, if you do choose one of the CBs, you must deploy the latest branch available for that CB (within a the specific time period for that branch) or you don't get Windows Updates anymore? Is that correct or are there other ramifications for not applying the latest branch?

Maybe that mix works out to <1%, 1%, 80%, and the rest.
