If APIs change, or Emacs start to look and feel different, it should be a major version bump. If it instead integrates something that's not really a user-facing feature, that can go in on a minor bump. In general, the 25 "series" should feel like a consistent march of refinement. Concurrency would very much justify 26.x, but I don't think dynamic loading should. That's much more of a developer-oriented feature. It doesn't change the overall feel, and while it adds APIs, it doesn't change them. (If I'm wrong on that last point, then yes, 26 it is). John
