I agree that "Emacs needs its NeoVim moment", where some architectural changes are needed for future longevity (I'd want it to be around for my lifetime!), but I also don't think there should be any breaking change. I have already, over the last decade, seen incremental changes to make packaging, json-handling, concurrency, much better than they used to be. But most encouraging of all, the "distributions" (Doom, Spacemacs) are doing some of the "market research" about what users like more, or care about more, and cataloguing the lesson learnt there would help Emacs move forward in an /incremental/ manner.
