I'd rather say if it receives good feedback on either 7.x version, and
good feedback on either of the 8/9 versions, then push them all.  The 7.x
versions are close enough to justify pushing one based on the other, and
the 8/9 versions are somewhat close enough also.  But to push 9 based on
7.3 seems a stretch unless the patch was really trivial.

Now, that doesn't matter as much until we take over support for 9 anyway.

If you are going to push all versions based on feedback of one version,
maybe we should at least put a note/disclaimer in the announcement that
it was done that way?

Having said that, feel free to ignore my opinion if desired ;)  I'm not
really very attached to it ;)
