There's no "more" public announcement, as it's all just work in progress.

I made up a bad list of bullet points at:
http://docs.zope.org/zope2/releases/4.0/WHATSNEW.html

But the gist is: There's no point in doing a Zope 2.14 release with
incremental improvements, as there's nothing such a release could
contain. So it makes sense to do a less backwards compatible release
and bump the major version number. People rightfully complained that
doing a Zope2 3.0 release is a bit insane. So the next number up for
grasp is Zope2 4.0 - at which point it can be called "Zope 4.0" again.
