​According to the Symfony website, version 2.8 is the LTS version[1], so
why 2.7?

It seems 2.7 is also a LTS version.

 Symfony 2.7 is a long term support version with 3 years support that
was published in May 2015.

May 2018
End of support for bug fixes

Cheers,
François

Correct... 2.7 is also a LTS version [1][2].  It was originally
planned to be the last 2.x release as well as the last 2.x LTS
version.  See [2] for where 2.8 came from.

Not many of my packages use/require 2.8 though so my current plan is
to stick with 2.7.  We can discuss 2.8 if it is needed though.

​If you're already making ​the effort to upgrade to 2.7, you should go
ahead and bump to 2.8, because it will make it easier for people to make
the move to 3.2 later. If people wind up developing applications against
2.8 as opposed to 2.7, it'll be far smoother because they'll have all the
3.0 features, too. From what I understand from the blog post, 3.0 differs
from 2.8 only in that all the deprecations have turned into removals and
the compatibility layers are gone. It would make sense to have it make it
easier for them to move to 3.2, right?

2.8 is not even in rawhide and many packages are not even verified
with 2.8 -- including Drupal 8 [1] which I will be packaging soon.
