Why upgrade to v8.0 (old LTS) and not v8.4 (current LTS)?

Especially given that end-of-support is only 18-months from now (April 2026) … when end-of-support of v5.7 is what drive them to upgrade in the first place.

With all the migration code already written and experience gained, I imagine upgrading 8->8.4 would take 1/10 of effort of 5.7->8.0.
