The 140.0 directory did not replace the 140.0esr directory. The ESR
directory just is not listed anymore. You can still pull from the ESR
source though. Attempts to go up the directory will fail. According to
the 140.0esr changelog, they want to release it on the 7th. Douglas
suspects it might because of a syncing issue with Windows, and that
they want to release at that date because it's after the 4th which
the developers have probably taken breaks on. It's beyond me. But
Mozilla pushed the date out despite the source still being there.

It also got a shadow update. I did a diff and nothing much changed,
just the timestamp information. When we hit the 7th, I'll check again.

Mozilla has been nothing short of weird as of late. But the release did
happen, the source still exists, the directory isn't publicly listed,
and Mozilla wants to push the release till the 7th, which means
hopefully the directory will be publicly listed again. There's been
cases where that doesn't happen and it gets listed a few days after.

I will be watching closely :)
