> Would it be possible to accelerate the release of Julia 1.11 by releasing it with only the `public` keyword as a new feature and delaying other features planned for Julia 1.11 to a later version?

No. This is _always_ a tension. See, e.g., what happened with [v1.6 and v1.7](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/what-are-the-current-plans-regarding-a-new-lts-julia-version/63501). And there are just as likely to be [other features](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/NEWS.md) that others think are more important (e.g., dynamic scopes or `Main.main` or annotated strings or using [nontoxic mushrooms](https://emojipedia.org/brown-mushroom) as identifiers).
