The main challenge with this is backwards compatibility testing. If you
release 8.9 after 9.0, there is nothing in the release process that tests
that Lucene 9 can read 8.9 indices even though that is a guarantee we
provide. It can be tested manually (we have done it a couple times) but
this is quite painful and not as reliable as having it tested on every CI
build prior to the release, so we prefer avoiding releasing new minors
after a new major.

This is mostly a problem for Lucene so once Lucene and Solr have distinct
release cycles, Solr could potentially do this, e.g. release Solr 9.9 after
10.0 is out (as long as Solr 9.9 keeps depending on the same Lucene version
as Solr 9.8).
