Stable release of uBO/webext must be available to all users when [Firefox 57 is released](https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2017/02/16/the-road-to-firefox-57-compatibility-milestones/).
Of course for practical reasons, the stable release of uBO/webext should be available on AMO in advance of Firefox 57 release date.
So I am just going to try this: publish stable release of uBO/webext one release cycle ahead of Firefox 57, i.e. publish stable uBO/webext when Firefox 56 is released.
However, before releasing uBO/webext to stable channel on AMO, I must release uBO/webext-hybrid first, a necessary step for a seamless transition to uBO/webext. Again, it feels reasonable to publish uBO/webext-hybrid one release cycle ahead of Firefox 56, i.e. publish stable uBO/webext-hybrid when Firefox 55 is released.

This is what I plan:
- August 8 + 2 weeks
- uBO/webext-hybrid published on AMO's stable channel
- uBO/webext published on AMO's dev channel
- September 26 + 2 weeks
- uBO/webext-hybrid publication + 4 weeks = September 26
- uBO/webext published on AMO's stable channel
However this is theoretical:
- uBO/webext-hybrid on Firefox for Android is not ready yet:
- Firefox for Android 54: no way to access the popup panel or dashboard.
- Could be sooner if uBO/webext-hybrid is being used by most users sooner than expected.
