I also do not understand this crying here.

There are currently 7.4, 8.3 and 9.0 as a RELEASE out.

Nobody will stop a user to install the current release candidate for
9.1 or even the 10.0.

I would not bother to think a second but take what ever is out there
which seems to fit to my hardware and install it.

If nothing works, I would have a try with 10.
