If we could spend our time on a somewhat focused work on 2.4, instead
of exhausting ourselves discussing feature backports to 2.3, this could
happen faster.
And more *focused* work: less rounds of review, buildbot explosions, etc.,
which eats up everyone else's precious time.
Grumbling aside, our feature page for 2.4 sees us in reasonably good
shape - all the major work has been done, Samuli has done some amazing
work on automated windows testing, and all the test reports we've received
so far have been "yeah, it works".
So, what is missing for 2.4 (please update the page as you go)?
I see TLS record splitting, which I have no idea how invasive this is
going to be, and how much time is needed to make that happen (and to
test it). A number of trac tickets for specific corner cases (like,
FreeBSD 11 with topology subnet).
I still think the timeline "end of 2016" should be doable - there's
some reasoning to meet that: it will make the next Debian release.
