+
+Why not?
+* Since fx10 all non-binary extensions are compatible by default (so our 
+main problem goes away).
+* fx10 in 6 months is dead old for users POV. Many unhappy users. Lower 
+popularity for Mageia. (Ubuntu AFAIK is going with fast schedule).
+* We will miss too many new and cool features.
+* When we release
+
+But as i said.. up to maintainer.
