2.10.0 will be done when its done. Same goes for 2.7.1, which is likely going to
be done later since we are focusing on 2.10.0 at the moment.
I've created the release-2.7.1 branch because there is no other place for fixes
of future versions. It would be helpful to have a minor version branch (e.g.
release-2.7) which can be continuously updated.
More generally speaking, we should dedicate time for LTS releases. What is the
point otherwise of having an LTS version?

Since you were originally thinking of 2.9.x as target, 2.10.0 seems closer both
in time and upgrade path.
I see no reason why a 2.7.1 release would materialize any sooner than 2.10.0.
Or is the intention is to just stack up fixes in the 2.7.x branch for a
potential future release?

I agree it's better to take some extra time to ensure the quality of 2.10.0.
I've created a 2.7.1 branch and cherry-picked the relevant commits[1]. We
could
start collecting other fixes in case there are any.
