Plone 4.3 to 5 directly?

Hi,

probably this thought is unpopular, but i think there are good reasons 
to roll out a Plone 4.4 prior to 5.

There has been lots of progress with packages apart mockup / p.a.widgets 
/ toolbar / barceloneta (which represent the most obvious changes to the 
end user when it comes to Plone 5).

There are the efforts to make p.a.contenttypes and p.a.event working 
with 4.3 - with and without p.a.widgets and there are major changes in 
p.a.portlets and p.a.users.

The sense behind a 4.4 release would be to soften the migration curve to 
plone 5 and make it a 2-step thing. The step to 4.4 would be used to 
upgrade data centric code to the modern stack, the step to 5 to update 
UI centric and JS code.

Imo a 4.4 Release should contain:

- plone.app.contenttypes = 1.1.x
- plone.app.event = 1.1.x
- plone.app.portlets = 2.5.x
- plone.app.users 2.0.x
- ...more data centric packages here...

Regards,

Robert
