People put a lot of weight behind version numbers, often much more
than they should. Jumping to 4.0 would be a PR nightmare and would
ultimately hurt this project as more people decide that switching to
another language will solve their problem better than jumping from 2.x
to 4.0. People already think 2.7 to 3.4 is enough of a burden.

Please do not do this.
