How come? Mike is saying you're more than welcome to state your 
case? Are you suggesting that you'll only bother to do so if it's 
a foregone conclusion that it'll indeed happen?

That seems an odd tack to take for something you apparently feel 
quite strongly about?

Also, see Iain's message above; 2.076 is already the _de facto_ 
LTS due to GDC requirements (I believe ADR made this argument 
recently in the Discord too).

 From my limited perspective, the ideal case here is LDC and GDC 
working together on the _de facto_ LTS versions re. backporting 
important patches it seems. I'll leave the discussion of how that 
could work to more knowledgeable people.

In other words: This is _really close_ to happening is my 
impression. Why wouldn't you want to be one of the people helping 
to bring it over the goal line re. DLF buy-in so _you actually 
get what you were after in the first place?_
