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 versionThe 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.David J.
I support the policy of using caution with regards to new versions. They are often thought of as "bleeding edge" for the reason described by David G Johnston. The fact that PostgreSQL 10 was only released this month is critical and therefore is should not be a production server. It should be used as development, or QA, at best.
