Sorry for being unclear - I meant that the Thunderbird and Firefox
updates were deployed quickly, without waiting for Enigmail to be
ready. So we should do the same with Jessie (upload FF and TB before
Enigmail) especially since we had a long ways to prepare ourselves and
indeed have a plan already.
So please do go ahead.
