With the naming scheme of using the year as the version number as in
Windows 95/98, Emacs 28 should be released in 2028 :-)

But before the release we need to decide whether the authors of packages
should add new menu items at the top of the menu before its title,
or help them by providing an anchor in the menu.

Also please decide what to do bug#52286: should we unify such
menu symbols as [separator-global] to [global-separator]
before the release?
