This is quite strange because you even linked Tim's question and considering that the Remi's preference is to delay, it obviously means that there are likely some plans to package 8.6 for those distros and this change will just make it harder. I don't see reason to rush it to 8.6 and make life harder for packagers so I voted no. It's my fault that I haven't read it sooner but the generic title made it easier to not notice it...
