It seems we all agree on a new release schedule, so I propose to move
forward. I'll draft a mail to be sent to the Wicket Users list (and I think
we should also include announce) to announce our change in releases. In
short:
* We will release 4 new versions soon (proposal: first week of October):
11.0.0, 10.11.0, 9.24.0 and 8.19.0.
* For 8.x and 9.x, these will be the last releases, no more support after
that.
* 10.x will be our first LTS line, supported until 14 is released.
* From now on, we release a new major version every 3 months, so the next
will be in the first week of January.

Any objections?
