Let's list things to consider for 4.14.5 (2024-03-02).

I've released 4.14.5 today with a single fix: the regression introduced by 4.14.4. The plans from above will therefore be for a 4.14.6. Same date.

Hmmm, I've dropped some changes, since they pulled in so many dependencies. If anyone reports needing them in 4.14.x, I'll pick them, but let's not do it for now.

    Revert 3 cherry-picks
    
    This changes pull some more dependencies.  That's too much for a stable
    branch, I think.  If anyone needs them, please ask for them, but for now
    let's keep them out.
