I completely agree we should consider any roadmap a living document that we expect to revise, but my hope is that we will formalise an agreed roadmap by vote. My view is that we should aim to regularly revisit the roadmap, and anticipate that it will be revised based on contributors' shifting

Having an open discussion about what we want to release as a community on the next version makes total sense to me. I also agree that the roadmap should not be written on stone and that we should be flexible if we believe that we need to. We should also take this discussion as an opportunity to

To say it another way, I would expect that once a roadmap is agreed we would ensure there was a CEP for every item. I don't know whether every CEP would necessarily be voted into a roadmap, nor whether every item voted on would have a CEP before the vote is conducted, and don't have a strongly

I guess I meant that I don't foresee roadmap discussions having a hard requirement of CEP for all goals we might discuss, though it would probably be expected that many of the biggest proposals would already at least have a minimal CEP to be filed, you're right. Certainly if an advanced CEP

Yes, absolutely my goal isn't to prohibit work outside of the roadmap. For really large, complex items of work that potentially require wide input from community e.g. because of semantic or stability implications (i.e. the kind we only deliver a handful per release), I think it would be

+1 to the idea of the project roadmap and the said benefits for planning. In my opinion, it certainly does a world of good for visibility on what is in the works/ what to look forward to for both the developers as well as users. So long as "allowed work" is not restricted to items in the project

A while back somebody privately raised the idea of a project roadmap to me, and I’d like to propose we formally consider it as a project now that 4.0 is approaching completion. I think there are two major benefits to agreeing a roadmap: 1) It helps us to coordinate finite project
