Very useful suggestion! It helps tremendoisly!
But I'd really prefer to see the official xiaoimi.eu team statement on my question. If the EU teaam stopped all the work on the Stable branch of the firmware and we shouldn't expect any updates anymore - it's important to know.
If they dropped only the stable 9.6.x.0 branch - then also it's also important to know directly from them. If so - also the reasons would be interesting, why the 9.6.x.0 stable version so special that only this is dropped. For many users and followers of the EU ROMs this is important, hence there are many of us who prefer Stable branch.
But the worst is no information at all.
