Sounds about right, but one thing to keep in mind is that "Removal of root" is only one possible route Mozilla can go for. They could also revoke (root or intermediate) certificate(s) through OneCRL, and while I haven't tried this, my guess would be that OneCRL trumps locally-added roots.

That being said, the current plan is not to remove any of the roots (at least until all active certificates chaining up to those roots have expired), but rather not to trust certificates chaining to those roots with a notBefore date > October 21, 2016.
