All I said about Trisquel 10 is that it will be based on Ubuntu 20.04,
and that's all I know about it.

As for Trisquel 9, all I know is what I've gathered from tuning into
some of the Freedom Friday meetings, which is that the priority now
seems to be infrastructural improvements, that this involves support for
non-x86 architectures, and that Trisquel 9 will probably be the first
version to support these architectures. Here are some relevant excerpts
from one of the meetings.

2018-09-28 08:05:01     quidam  so I worked on the build system most of 
yesterday
2018-09-28 08:05:30     quidam  I upgraded jenkins, which was very old, and 
moved the process from pbuilder to sbuild
2018-09-28 08:05:44     leny2010        great
2018-09-28 08:06:05     quidam  it is now faster, hopefully more reliable, and 
allows to build arm/powerpc and other architectures
...
2018-09-28 08:16:00     quidam  we are kind of limited to what ubuntu supports
2018-09-28 08:16:24     jxself  Right, and they have support for armhf, arm64, 
and ppc64el already.
2018-09-28 08:16:29     quidam  ubuntu has armhf and arm64
2018-09-28 08:16:32     jxself  ppc64el would be good for the Talos II machine.
2018-09-28 08:17:05     jxself  armhf for the EOMA68 machine
...
2018-10-05 09:13:27     chaosmonk       i see some talk of supporting other 
archs
2018-10-05 09:13:48     chaosmonk       will this be for T8, or will non-x86 
support start with t9?
2018-10-05 09:15:06     chaosmonk       in particular, is there a possibility 
of trisquel supporting arm soon enough for eoma68 cards to ship with it?
2018-10-05 09:17:07     quidam  it will most likely start with t9

Note that "we are kind of limited to what ubuntu supports" seems to
confirm that if Ubuntu dropped 32-bit then Trisquel would too. Again
though, I don't see any reason to think this will happen soon.
