> If we’re not declaring 1.9 the LTS now, what’s the other best candidate? Answer: 1.6. […] 1.9 may well become a new LTS, but we won’t know that until 1.10 is entering final stages of development.

Is it entering final stages? I see: “Set VERSION to 1.10.0-DEV (#47222) 6 months ago”

I agree 1.8 doesn’t make sense as LTS, it should be 1.9 (or even 1.10?). I believe 1.9 took longer to get done than expected. Will 1.10 hit feature freeze any day now? Are there interesting features there you would want in an LTS, or even interesting features that people want to wait for before a feature freeze (that are almost there) for 1.10, independent of it becoming a potential LTS?
