Foremost, a further acceleration will be announced in advance and clear. He also announced further explanations about the Firefox release cycle: "There are some painful aspects and advantages, which I'll explain in the next few weeks in blog posts, and videos to now we have done a lousy communication work would like to change me.. because they mostly my fault.
