This is being referenced a lot now because Omega Wolverine, the Phalanx-ified version of him from a future, seems to be from the future of THIS timeline, even though during Inferno Omega Sentinel revealed she came back from this timeline's future because mutants won. But the events of Inferno have likely changed that, and now we have Omega Wolverine from a future where it parallels Moira's life six but with the twist that now a future Moira who's merged with machinery is the one to kill Logan or turn him into a Phalanx. With him coming back in time presumably to stop this.
And then Life Nine is the last relevant life, the one just before this one, where Moira teamed up with Apocalypse. We didn't see much of this life up until the 'hundred years from now' point, but we know that the nation of Krakoa was formed, Sinister experimented with creating chimera mutants and then betrayed Krakoa, and a hundred years from now only Apocalypse, Moira, Krakoa, Wolverine and a handful of chimeras and former Hounds like Cylobel, Rasputin, North and Cardinal were all that remained. And this life ended when they were able to gain intel on when exactly Nimrod would come online and where, and then Moira died so she could reincarnate with that knowledge and try and take Nimrod out before that happened in this current life. Which of course failed.
Its worth noting that while this past life did have the mutant nation of Krakoa, and some of its current leaders were still involved like Sinister, Magneto and Xavier were NOT involved in it as Apocalypse killed them soon after Moira awakened him. Which means its likely that a good deal of the major X-Men and villains we know from this current life might not have been involved in Krakoa, or died before it was formed, etc. For instance, we know that Moira awakened Apocalypse in Life Nine when she was only 18...and then he killed Xavier when she was nineteen and Magneto when she was 21. Which among other things, means that even if Wanda was born before Magneto died, M-Day wouldn't have happened without his influence in her life. Other powerful mutants who had a major influence on Life Ten's timeline weren't born either like Proteus or Legion, just for example. But which also means that since M-Day never happened, and no idea if Hope still would have been born with as much as things changed, and at the very least the Phoenix was never involved in jumpstarting the mutant race again, etc.....like, all of that means this past life Krakoa never had things like the resurrection protocols, and I don't think its likely that they ever retrieved Arakko and all its mutants from Otherworld. I haven't seen this mentioned much, but while Life Nine most closely mirrored Life Ten in some ways because of Krakoa and Sinister and the chimeras.....Life Ten's Krakoan nation has major advantages it never had the last time around (resurrection, Arakko, the number of omega mutants they have, etc), if they can change whatever happened between now and Omega Wolverine's future that led to losing resurrection and stuff like that.
And of course, this current life is Life Ten.
