They may actually mean what they say. It’s not uncommon for projects to release the last minor version at the same time as the next major. For example, Drupal 9.0.0 was functionally equivalent to Drupal 8.9.0, except 9.0 had all deprecations dropped. New 9.0+ only features didn’t show up until 9.1.

Yeah, that is probably the smart way to do it. Frontload all of your necessary new features in 8.9/9.0-dev (so you can complete the deprecations), roll over the major and remove only the deprecated code paths without introducing any new ones.
