The WordPress core team announced plans for another major release in 2025. Version 6.9 was originally scheduled for next year but Matt has called for another release in 2025. It is uncertain what will be included, perhaps some projects and improvements that have already been underway? Matt mentioned in an interview that he would like to have the Admin redesign shipped this year.

There is a proposal to introduce a status of “maintenance mode” for features in WordPress that are only going to get security, bug and compatibility fixes. A bit controversial are items in the list to consider, TinyMCE, the Customizer, and Shortcodes, among others.
