There is actually some other stuff for which I want to remove support for
older versions or where it might break compatibility:
- remove carbon support for macOS
- upgrade DirectSound support to version 8 (IDirectSound8 interface)
- unify event handling

So may I be bold and propose that 1.4.x will be the last version in the 1.x
line? We keep the 1.4.x updates to only do bug fixes while keeping the
backwards compatibility. But on the 'default' branch we start doing some
possibly breaking changes that will be released as pyglet 2.0?
