- Cull and probably remove the 7.8.4 milestone. - Simply not enough time to address almost any of the tickets in any reasonable timeframe before 7.10.1, while also shipping them. - Only one, probably workarouadble, not game-changing bug (#9303) marked for 7.8.4. - No particular pressure on any outstanding bugs to release immediately. - ANY release would be extremely unlikely, but if so, only backed by the most critical of bugs. - We will move everything in 7.8.4 milestone to 7.10.1 milestone. - To accurately catalogue what was fixed. - To eliminate confusion.
#8960 looks rather serious and potentially makes all of 7.8 a no-go for some users. I'm worried that we're (in general) pushing too many bug fixes towards future major versions. Since major versions tend to add new bugs, we risk getting into a situation where no major release is really solid.
