Sannse said on IRC we're skipping the next version, iirc when asked about upgrading to 1.17. It makes sense to me that they're skipping it because it's too complex to upgrade this skin to 1.17 and then again to the eventual 1.18.

And then maybe would be 2 years since Oasis came up, and that means that a new skin will be forced on us, like they did with oasis when monaco was here.
