Because of customer projects, Linux distributions, etc. that are
currently on 5.8, and that want to benefit from the latest bug fixes and
performance improvements without waiting 4-5 months for 5.9.1.

Yes, they *will* skip any .0 release, and convincing customers to
upgrade to a new minor release is definitely more complicated than
convincing to upgrade to a new patch release (... which in this case
translates to tracking the 5.8 branch).

Cheers,
