Is this branch ready 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
