Also, yes, I agree with the list you provided, Wido. We might have to break
“other fancy stuff” into more detail, though. ;)

That's what I said in my e-mail :-) But yes, I agree with you, this
might be a good time to bump it to 5.0
With that we would:
- Drop creation of new Basic Networking Zones
- Support IPv6 in shared IPv6 networks
- Java 9?
- Drop support for Ubuntu 12.04
- Other fancy stuff?
- Support ConfigDrive in all scenarios properly
How would that sound?
