which brings up the question of a 10.4 (personally I hope there will 
be .. but not a 10.5)
releng-10 is still very active and 10 is being used in  a lot of products.
For us the factor is the fact that we are not ready to jump to 
clang/LLVM yet, so 11 is "still a way off".
We already see errors when doing buildworld with gcc under 10.3 due to 
assumptions of clang usage, both in base and ports.
11 would be many times worse and none of our code has ever been 
compiled under clang yet..
(We expect to try for that after we finish getting onto 10.3++.)
