The OP likely intended to say "x.0" version; which a "[9.7].0" version is
just the same as a [10].0 version

The contributors do an excellent job but the reality of this community is
that a critical mass of people do not start seriously testing and using a
new version until it is officially released. The first couple of bug-fix
releases are thus, unfortunately, likely to be non-trivial as the masses
flex the system at scales and using workloads that were not known or
available to the developers. Its a balancing act for most and falling on
the side of waiting for a few point releases before promoting to production
is, I suspect, common.
