I agree we should start considering branching 4.0 and unfreezing soon, but before I think we should: - Close the loop on the agreed points of the "releases after 4.0" [1] and "project roadmap" [2] threads and document the new release guidelines post-4.0 so we have a good starting point. - Revisit the previous discussions on unfreezing 4.0 and address any remaining concerns that may still be open.
Looking forward to this exciting milestone!
