CentOS - Dec 2020 - Thunderbird 78

The upstream provider decided to remove OpenGPG support in its
thunderbird-78 packages, see

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1886962
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1886958
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1837512

recommending to either use Mozilla binaries, use Flatpak or switch to
Evolution

Is there any plan to provide thunderbird-78-full packages in e.g. EPEL,
ELRepo or somewhere else (like firefox-esr in Ubuntu) or should we use
Mozilla binaries?

Thank you in advance!

Apart from Flatpak or mozilla binary, one other (ugly, I know) solution
is still to just use the rpm pkg from distro but just extract librnp.so
from upstream thunderbird pkg, put it in place (so that it doesn't
complain about missing .so file needed for the openpgp functions to
work)  ......
