I’m with John wrt. the discussions on LTS and the 7.8.4 release being orthogonal.
Especially if 7.8 does not have submodules and if this is a pain, there’s also no reason to backport our approach to LTS into 7.8. In other words, 7.10 could also be the first LTS version. Ph.

Emphatically yes. Lack of submodules on the 7.8 branch makes working with it /very/ unpleasant.
