After the huge release that was 4.9 4.9 was "huge". I guess volunteers trying to cook up a quick summary may have given up on it :)

  4.9 was expected to be a long-term support release, so there was strong motivation to complete and merge anything that was almost ready. The maintainers knew this would happen and threatened to hold off on making a new longterm release until 4.10 or later if 4.9 ended up too full of half-baked code, but it seems to have mostly worked out as just a large release that is now officially the most recent longterm branch.
