I like the idea of supporting 9x, however it gets difficult to manage as the codebase diverges.
If we intend to support, we should be completely committed for the sake of the user community - with guarantees around active backporting of bug fixes and most importantly security patches. Also, are you proposing to support 9x until Solr 11 is out?
