This is, IIUC, for really new libraries - they need complete integration 
into the whole tool chain, and the special attention of release managers.

IIUC breaking changes / new features are major changes.

Agreed.

What do we plan from the geographic features? There are already some 
slipped in, but we should take care they are all documented then.

For projections I think it is still too early - I'm currently at the 
point that the new spheroid model should be shared between distances and 
projections. And there are some open points.

Agreed
