I use Firefox Preview as my main browser on Android, but I think pushing adoption by deprecating the regular Firefox for Android is the wrong approach. How are they going to compete with other browsers if they can't even get existing Firefox users to switch to Preview?
In particular, Nightly users are already deliberately accepting bugginess to help test new Firefox releases. If they're not using Preview, there's probably a reason for that.

... is a very optimistic prediction. Add-on support is missing, there are various strange bugs that are no deal-breakers for me personally, but still annoying, and the URL bar at the bottom is confusing to get used to. Forcing the transition before Preview is ready doesn't look like a smart move to me.
