Good to hear that! Right now I indeed see the following: 7.10.3, 8.0.2, 8.4.4, 8.6.5, 8.10.7, 9.2.5. There is also a 9.0 (which could be dropped maybe?), but 9.2 is built from 8.10. And 8.10 is built with 8.6, but inherits from 8.8; to make things simpler, it would be nice to drop 8.8, but this would imply some work to get the right differences between the recipe for 8.6 and for 8.10.
