I tested the update with and without the latest feature version constant, all 
my tests pass.

On a side note, while testing I was looking at the version number and thinking 
about semantic versioning. I don’t remember any discussions about this but 
there probably have been some. For a release with new features the minor 
version number would be bumped (the 2nd number), leaving the final number as 
the patch version for bug fixes only. In other words this would be 2.4.0 
because of minor new features (but nothing not backward compatible so no need 
to bump the first/major version number). Semantic versioning is an interesting 
pattern, not necessary by any means to roughly communicate what is going on 
with a new release versus the prior, but is a clear way of communicating the 
most important parts of a release (bug fix only? new features? backward 
compatible?). This is not related to the vote for this particular release, just 
something related to releases that if others are interested might be worth 
discussing.

+1 (binding)
