I think that should depend on a case by case basis for when we are
working towards a new version, a lot of awesome work are already in
for master that won't be out for at least another year. At the point
when we pick RMs for the next branch, then we have in the past
evaluated the scope of changes currently planned to be included, what
is currently in and what the magical guys at Zend are doing and decide
there. Having a fixed, forced major version does not sound that great
if we do not have something awesome that could only ever exist in a
new major version,
