Changed mediators:
  mediator firefox:
   version: 60 (system default) -> None

  mediator thunderbird:
   version: 52 (system default) -> None

I am worried that the above means that after an upgrade, there will be
no firefox or thunderbird available.  Presumably I could then manually
install them.

My assumption regarding the meaning of 'Changed mediators' may be
totally incorrect.
Using 'pkg mediator' I see this relevant output:

MEDIATOR    VER. SRC. VERSION IMPL. SRC. IMPLEMENTATION
firefox system    60  system
thunderbird system    52  system

Will everything just be ok or is there a way to influence the
mediators in advance such that firefox and thunderbird will be
installed with the latest version?

Don't worry. We have removed both mediators as we only have one version
of both packages for some time now and don't plan to support multiple
packages for the foreseeable future.
Thus, the mediators were useless.
