Next LTS version in February 2025?

Hi! Traditionally there has been a new major MariaDB version in February of the year Debian has a new major version. What is the plan for February 2025? I was reading https://mariadb.org/about/#maintenance-policy and old mariadb.orb blog posts but none was explicit about this.

Hi Otto There hasn't been any decision yet, but internal discussions have started. By Q1 2025, 11.7 should be out as GA, and 11.8 should be out as RC. I don't see any freeze dates announced for Debian yet, but do you think an 11.8 LTS would fit into Debian's schedule?

Historically the freeze in Debian has been in February. If there is no new LTS by then, Debian can perhaps ship current MariaDB 11.4. It might be a bit hasty to have a LTS with just two innovation releases between, so my intuition right now is that 11.8 would be a good pick for LTS.
