A bit off-topic here, but why upgrade to 9.6 when you can upgrade to 10.0? 

There's no way we're going to put an x.0.0 version into production.

Then think of it as 9.7.0 but with an easier name to pronounce ;)

The OP likely intended to say "x.0" version; which a "[9.7].0" version is just the same as a [10].0 version

The contributors do an excellent job but the reality of this community is that a critical mass of people do not start seriously testing and using a new version until it is officially released.  The first couple of bug-fix releases are thus, unfortunately, likely to be non-trivial as the masses flex the system at scales and using workloads that were not known or available to the developers.  Its a balancing act for most and falling on the side of waiting for a few point releases before promoting to production is, I suspect, common.
