I plan to work on `main` until February, finalize recycler implementation,
carry out whatever improvement I can, and release `3.0.0`.

*If you have any objections with this plan, or if you have things to do on
`main` and you cannot comply with this schedule, etc., let's discuss.* I
want to agree on a plan and timeline that works for you.

*Personal remark:* I am against releasing `3.0.0` from `main`. `2.x`
changes that didn't go into `main` are titanic. `main` also contains
several incomplete code, doc, or both. I support the idea of forking `3.x`
from `2.x`, backporting crucial features from `main` to `3.x`, and then
releasing `3.0.0`. I had several email, Slack, and video conversations with
Ralph, Matt, and Piotr. They don't agree with me. Ralph even threatened to
veto all non-bugfix changes on `2.x`
<https://lists.apache.org/thread/4o9xg0o2csjnf4f372l18f8zjj9c9sy4>. I am
outnumbered and I accept the defeat. Let's release `3.0.0` from `main` and
move on. I don't want to spend time discussing this subject further.
