There were several other updates in the release, not just the drop of the Puppet 7 version support, but that was the sticking point that caused it to be a major version and not a minor. So we need to go back to the board and detangle some pieces so we can get out the features that people want without forcing a huge update process across the ecosystem right now.
But that version update is going to have to happen, so let's find a way to make it smoother than us just randomly dropping a new v10 out there. If we're deliberate about it, I think it can be smooth.
