Missed the joke much? Maybe you haven't read Harry Potter...

Don't forget Orihime and Hikoboshi.

It's pretty obvious he's either sick of writing about these characters or he doesn't know what he wants to do with them anymore.
Even if 10 isn't the end I don't expect him to continue pumping out many volumes anymore. Since they just started their Junior year I'd at least expect him to cover up until Mikuru graduates though, how much of the time in between he covers is the question. Will we see a big time jump?

Tanigawa in an excellent writer, so I'm sure he understands what he needs to do, but, of course, your point is correct.
...I've never seen how Mikuru graduating constitutes an ending, though. She just isn't important enough.

For some reasons, he didn't release it. We were all ready to buy the book when it even had a release date. It just got push back and disappeared, like what is happening to anime Season 2.
Its part of their marketing deal or something we do not know.

...That's kind of self-centered of you, and we already have a drunk Haruhi chapter.
After which she swears to never drink again.

He told them that while he had something he was working on, it was a much larger, more ambitious undertaking than his previous releases and needed more time. After a certain point he was told he had to release something and so they came to an agreement that he'd release the first portion of the work at the beginning of the year and the conclusion sometime soon after, which would give him time to put the finishing touches on the work.
... However it was mostly posturing on his part, June 2007 came and went without nary a word from them, the release has now been stuck in "TBA" hell for well over a year now. He was never happy with this piece of work and only released it because of the heavy pressure to release something soon after the success of the anime. The pressure got to him and now he feels unsure how to give a satisfying end to the current story arc.

This makes sense. God Kadokawa sucks.
