I don't agree. But i'm not the maintainer.

Why not?
* Since fx10 all non-binary extensions are compatible by default (so our 
main problem goes away).
* fx10 in 6 months is dead old for users POV. Many unhappy users. Lower 
popularity for Mageia. (Ubuntu AFAIK is going with fast schedule).
* We will miss too many new and cool features.
* When we release

But as i said.. up to maintainer.
