Jekyll upstream has been concentrating on a new 4.x release branch for the past year.  It provides a significant set of new features that I use, and it would be great if it could be included in debian.

I assume you know all of that already, since 3.9 released after 4.0, but I was wondering what the rationale was for sticking with the 3.x branch.

Thanks!
