I'd suggest we approach the new 4.0 as a time based on not feature based
release. We can set tight deadlines (be flexible in the scope of days)
and deliver whatever is ready. To ensure reasonable backwards
compatibility we have an established framework team process I'd trust to
take care of this concern.

The feaure list I put up was to frame a potential scope and get a common
understanding about it. The yes/no categorizations and what to include
all depend on actual champions to tackle these and the framework team to
find them ready and worthy for inclusion. I think we should approach
this release without any single item being a blocker for it.
