Which stable GHC release is expected to have support for linear types?

It'd be very interesting to know more about your use-case.  Why do you want linear types?

|  Hi!
|  
|  The blog post on http://blog.tweag.io/posts/2017-03-13-linear-
|  types.html
|  says, “We are targeting a merge by the time of the 8.4 release of
|  GHC.”
|  Does this mean that GHC 8.4 is expected to have support for linear
|  types, or does it mean that the merge should happen after a GHC 8.4
|  branch has been forked off from the HEAD branch, so that only GHC 8.6
|  will have support for linear types?
|  
|  All the best,
|  Wolfgang
