I expect a 4.87 release if the mail queue handling bug which causes the
crashes is fully tested. Maybe a one-critical-bugfix-release, so no need to
wait for testing new features and other things.

Yes, this happens in the past and will happen again. If a bug is so severe
that the latest release is not production ready there was critical bugfix
releases for exim just fixing one bug in the past. Which was a good thing
in my opinion.
