But how can you say that without knowing what will (can) come in 10.  Maybe it
will have something that would be a complete re-write, but something that you
would super-want.
IMO, it's the whole purpose of our present stable branches policy to let users
try/test/use new/advanced features sooner, all while having a choice.
