Correct... 2.7 is also a LTS version [1][2]. It was originally
planned to be the last 2.x release as well as the last 2.x LTS
version. See [2] for where 2.8 came from.
Not many of my packages use/require 2.8 though so my current plan is
to stick with 2.7. We can discuss 2.8 if it is needed though.

If you're already making the effort to upgrade to 2.7, you should go ahead and bump to 2.8, because it will make it easier for people to make the move to 3.2 later. If people wind up developing applications against 2.8 as opposed to 2.7, it'll be far smoother because they'll have all the 3.0 features, too. >From what I understand from the blog post, 3.0 differs from 2.8 only in that all the deprecations have turned into removals and the compatibility layers are gone. It would make sense to have it make it easier for them to move to 3.2, right?
