why would you like to break a running system?

I would stay with 8.x until the end of its support and move only then
to a new branch. It could be then 9.x or 10.y. I would then - but only
then - prefer the 10.y branch.

I retired my 7.4 only because of lightning strike this spring.

Robustness is my main goal here. Any change which brings only the risk
is avoided.

Irony is now that I am writing you this on a 10.0 machine. Only 10 has
had the support I needed for my new toy.

Erich
