Until a few days ago 8 was the latest, shinest release.
So you want to suddenly demote it all the way down to legacy?
I thought the goal was to have releases that can be used for a long time?
No, that's not quite what I meant.
I was speaking at the same time about the problem of having two concurrent
"production" releases.
Since 9.0 is already released, you can't stop having two production
releases with 8, since 9 is already here.
So i was saying *after* you continue the normal 8.x lifecycle (perhaps
another 1 or 1.5 years, getting it to 8.5 *then* you make the drastic
changes, which I showed in the list above.
So 8 would become legacy on the same schedule that it always had. No
changes there. The change comes with 9 being the only production release,
and 10.0-RELEASE being delayed.
