The ability to run LibreOffice on just about every mainstream processor and OS strikes me as a major achievement which ought to be shouted from the hilltops. Debian does the same and is known as "The universal operating system". Perhaps LO should become known
as "The universal office suite".
No other office suite comes close in that context. It surely warrants something better than a point release.
I like the concept of turning the number 8 on its side, though there would inevitably be comments about the concept of "infinity point one" when the subsequent release hits the streets..........

purposes, as media is looking at LibreOffice as the real innovator in the open source office suite market, and the feeling of journalists is that we are forever stuck at 7.x. We all know that the next version will not include any significant innovation which can justify the change of version, apart from the new build system for Windows and the availability of LibreOffice for Arm processors on Windows (which has not been announced). Playing with the number 8, which can be rotated 90° to become the "infinite" symbol, we can frame the next version as LibreOffice for an infinite number of users, as we cover all hardware platforms and all operating systems for personal productivity. This is my opinion. If the community wants to stick with 7.6, I won't insist. I have received enough insults both public and private for the marketing plan, and I am still receiving them from a few people, that I am not willing to enter into that process again (even if the decision on the "community" tag has not been mine, but it looks like people have a very short memory).
