Release drama is nothing new to the gentle reader, see these posts: [1] and [2]. Here it goes again.
In the post picture you can see how the 11th attempt to build Thunderbird 153.4.0 ESR looks like. Orange test failures, pointing to and mismatch with the upstream Mozilla platform code:
Not enough arguments [nsICookieManager.countCookiesFromHost]" nsresult: "0x80570001 (NS_ERROR_XPC_NOT_ENOUGH_ARGS)
Additionally, in this build the Thunderbird folks didn't pin against the Mozilla platform code. That means it's a random non-reproducible build.
The first 10 attempts were complete failures as the picture shows. Red "B"s indicating failure to build the binary package. Paid professionals at work. Can it get worse? It wouldn't be a surprise if our Betterbird 153.4.0 ESR release were delayed yet again.
