If you describe it like that no

You are very right at this point. But the problem is: We can't fix that later
on ( or only for 5.0 which definitely is not in the very near future...)

Year I totally understand your point, but here my reason for this sharp
sentence above (I didn't get it sound more friendly - sorry for that)

Of course. And the most important aspect: You have more experience on how to
release a program :-)

But please read my rephrased argument ( it isn't sharp any more AND you were
not too strong):

If we didn't do it in 4.0 we have to do it with 5.0 [2016-2018 IMHO] --> We
should do this ASAP with (if that is possible) 5.0 testing builds...
