Hi everyone

kasper noticed that we have not bumped major APIs since 7.1

So heres a quick poll / RFC

should we release 8.0 with the libs having the same major API as 7.0/7.1 ?
or should we bump major API and fast forward the release/8.0 branch

Note until this is resolved please dont push anything to release/8.0

we also could of course release 7.2 but then we have a 8.0 branch and
discussions about 8.0 hanging aroudnd confusingly

thx
