 At this time there is no immediate plan for a new major version. When it occurs,
 it will remove functionality currently marked as deprecated, and adopt a new C++
 version. This is unlikely to occur before 2027, at the earliest.

+One major change already planned for Botan4 is that in that release, Public_Key
 will no longer derive from Private_Key. And similarly, specific private keys
 (for example RSA_PrivateKey) will no longer derive from their corresponding
 public key type.
