The clue is in the subject heading, Jacque. At least, I thought it was plain 
enough. The script editor and HTML issues I mentioned were just ‘mind wind’ in 
the process of bemoaning the speed of uptake to current OS and Xcode support.

Here’s the big issue. Essential updates that all users are dependent on, like 
OS support, are held off from release while other minor updates are worked on 
and refined. I would venture to suggest that a new policy for these heavy 
releases to come quicker in a x.x.x release while the other 
combination/collection of fixes and features be sent out in an x.x release. 
This would then make sure critical errors/features (which I would say OS 
support fits into) are addressed and released quicker while not being held off 
at the mercy of other fixes waiting in the wings. 

Using this method would make it easier on the hub too. Anyone working on non 
critical updates can develop to the sub major release (ie. 9.7) while other 
more critical fixes can be applied to minor (not minor in urgency) releases 
(ie. 9.6.24). These can then have just one or three fixes that then get fed 
upstream into the 9.7 develop branch to be then checked against any other 
features being added to it. 

Does that make sense?
