Hi tom42, I can assure you that ownCloud 10.x (ownCloud Classic) will be with us for quite a while. In any case at least for another 3 years. As Botonic said, we are making ownCloud 10 fit for the future, for example with PHP 8 support. ownCloud 10 is currently the reliable product that the community and our customers trust in, and that will remain so for the time being.
