Conclusion

What does that mean for Drupal development services providers?

receiving bug fixes and security updates. With the release of Drupal 8.6.1, an upgrade path bug reported in Drupal 8.6.0 upon its release, has now been fixed.

* Starting March 2019, Drupal 8 will require PHP 7. In case

the site you are providing maintenance and support for, is still hosted on older versions like PHP 5.5 or 5.6 you must consider upgrading. Upgrade to PHP 7.2 for best results.
