Yes, exactly: We discussed what versions it could be targeted for. Which clearly implies that it was unknown what version it will be targeted for.

There's a clear and distinct difference between discussing possibilities, and secret knowledge.

Therefore, there's nothing that could possibly apply in the first place. Had you tried to do the same thing as on #349, discussing potential target versions, then that would have been no issue.
But that's not what you did.
What you did was asking for information about the target version despite the fact that quite obviously no target version is planned yet.

Two different things. Apples and oranges.

You are also ignoring that a) #349 is the most-demanded issue on the tracker, and b) that discussion happened before the latest news post, bringing that whole discussion into a different context.

You are, of course, free to try to start such a discussion, but given that the next step after DFD will be figuring out which issues the community wants most to figure out the order in which to (re-)schedule them, such an undertaking would be futile.

As it is, if the majority of the community doesn't urgently want/need this issue, it might even be suspended.

Quite frankly, the only reason this issue isn't in the DFD is because I confirmed it in April for some reason, and that made it slip through the filter.
No idea why I did that.

Either way, feel free to discuss, but since everything will be jumbled soon anyway, you'd only waste your time.
