feature freeze to May, 15 (2 month delay, date where vote is

starting). I

won’t repeat all the arguments of my previous posts but, to

summarize,

it

would allow to include important features, making it a ‘real’ major

version.

Releasing a major version is not just a question of BC break, we also

need

to think about what we put forward. So, we need features. We already

have

STH, but we can do more (I personally have at least 4 RFCs I didn’t

have

time for, including scalar pseudo-methods, which can be an important feature).

No, please, let's get what we have stabilized and out the door. There are always more things to do and we can delay things indefinitely.

And I

completely disagree that this isn't a 'real' major version.

Same.

Same here, very bad idea
