These are some possible semver minors I've flagged for potential inclusion in an upcoming semver minor LTS release. Please feel free to veto any of these or suggest other from this gist. The primary motivation here is that we are going to be doing one more LTS semver minor on v4.x already, and it will likely be the last one. I figured we could take this opportunity to audit and minimize delta on certain features to make support for v4.x less painful during the 12 month Maintenance period.
