I really prefer to have the latest version available, even if there’s no the latest android. 
I love to have Lineage 16 (unofficial) no 14.1 (official), by example.
Please bear in mind, that actuality of ROM and actuality of firmware depend in some (many?) cases on each other: Oneplus 5 (cheeseburger) /e/ 0.2 unofficial now available (Bonus: receives OTA updates)
I am afraid, if /e/ is lagging too much behind LineagOS or stock ROM, then the installation of /e/ might fail ever so often, because people would have to downgrade firmware beforehand.

LineageOS for Oneplus 5 = ‘cheeseburger’ has now moved to Pie and requires firmware 9.0.3.
Will the Oreo version of /e/ (when it becomes official) work without downgrade ?
No it will not work. /e/ source code is currently not compatible with pie. For Cheeseburger currently the /e/ supported build is on nougat and the device will have to be downgraded to nougat specific firmware to work. This is the same for any device - the firmware will have to be compatible with the /e/ build version.

There is an unofficial version of /e/ Oreo for Mido existing: https://eota.digitalkr.am/builds/full/unofficial/.
It is provided by s.o. from the /e/ team. I am using it for more than 4 months now and can recommed it. I am still hoping the Oreo version for Mido will become an official build soonish.

Bonjour
Je pense que cela n’est pas vraiment bon de garder les 2 versions. Il est préférable pour les utilisateurs d’utiliser la version la plus récente.
De plus pour les mainteneurs cela demande plus de travail de travailler sur deux version alors qu’il est préférable de passer du temps pour optimiser la version la plus récente.
Pour le passage de Nougat à Oreo si possible en utilisant OTA tout les utilisateurs n’on pas envie, ni les connaissances pour effectuer les manipulations de changement de version.
Merci pour le travail effectué!
Hello
I don’t think it’s really good to keep both versions. It is preferable for users to use the most recent version.
Moreover for maintainers it requires more work to work on two versions when it is better to spend time to optimize the most recent version.
For the transition from Nougat to Oreo if possible using OTA all users do not want, nor do they have the knowledge to perform the version change manipulations.
Thank you for the work you have done!
