@viralbshah Is that still on the table and then 1.9 as LTS? Since Statistics hasn’t yet been made a stdlib, and you continue with:

JuliaSyntax.jl has been merged into 1.10, which is now alpha1. It would be nice if it were used in LTS, since it has faster parsing, and better error messages, but I suppose it could be backported to 1.9 at some point, since it’s supposed to be a non-breaking change, if 1.9 would become an LTS?
