A marked change of stance from the following?

"Mike, you do realize that we get about 2 million Firefox downloads per day from regular user types, right? Your “big numbers” here are really just a drop in the bucket, fractions of fractions of a percent of our user base.

Enterprise has never been (and I’ll argue, shouldn’t be) a focus of ours. Until we run out of people who don’t have sysadmins and enterprise deployment teams looking out for them, I can’t imagine why we’d focus at all on the kinds of environments you care so much about."

It looks more like this replaces the (now quite outdated) Long Term Support version of 3.6, which even got updated yesterday: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6.26/releasenotes/

Part of this new ESR process is that 3.6 will go EOL in April.

I think its fair to say that Asa wasn't reflecting the view of the wider Mozilla community correctly when he made that statement.

There are various opinions inside Mozilla. You can hear them all because the debate is done in the open.

Asa's opinion there was never the official position nor the position of a majority in Mozilla AFAIK.
