This weekend's point release had been planned for a long time, and was
originally going to be called 9.7. But then due to the major security
fix needed for apt [1] and the new installation media etc. also
needed, we decided to publish a minimal 9.7 release out of sequence
with just that change. What was going to be 9.7 became 9.8 instead.
