Major releases tend to be very disruptive. They are supposed to be. We should consider doing 5.0 after 4.4 and taking it as an opportunity to introduce some major features such as HTTP/2.0 support. However, speaking from 4.0 experience it may take years to complete. I would not do a major release just to drop deprecated code.
