Yes. > and then work on v5 to resolve major design issues?

It would not be easy to sort out what must be released because some bug was fixed from what should not be because some bug wasn't fixed yet... > For example I recall there are > issues with math3.stat.descriptive.moment but the attempt to move these to > Statistics in GSOC 2019 was not completed.

There are design issues (big or small) everywhere; if some "legacy" codes are not released, it would entail that we support 2 versions of the library (i.e. the old v3.6.1 for all the bits not released in v4.0). The overall problem with CM is that we effectively do not support the whole code base (e.g. several reported bugs linger due to lack of expertise in the concerned area). Of course, it was the main reason for developing and releasing more focused components that were within the area of interest of the currently active developers.
