You may be assuming too much centralization about these decisions. Outside the core team, I think it’s pretty much people doing what they consider important; when these things are done they end up in `master`, then the next RC.

[Release candidates have a more-or-less predetermined schedule](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julias-release-process/28122), so whatever is ready by that ends up in the next version. Beyond this, I don’t think anyone can predict if something will be in the next version.

As an example, consider the recent [#33864](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/33864): it is something that many people consider a significant change, yet just before the 1.4 feature freeze it was [suggested](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/33864#issuecomment-565776459) that it ends up in 1.5 instead.

> From a malleability point of view I could say, well I could go about making compilation faster in Julia from Julia or from the LLVM. If I know what the core team is thinking about tackling that issue I’m better equipped to make a decision as to where allocate my efforts.

You could approach this problem from the other direction: if you have an idea in mind to improve compilation, just bring it up in a relevant issue (eg one like [#33326](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/33326)), open a new one, or make a PR. I am under the impression that instead of duplicating effort, there is a shortage of people who can help out with Julia internals, so I believe that offers to help are very much appreciated.
