Probably there will be at least one or two more after 3.4.3.

Higher physical and virtual cpu limits. RAS features (cpu/memory hotplug).
blktap2 (VHD support, among other things). Xenpaging/memshr (which are
frankly not in shape for production use in 4.0.0). Transcendent memory
(another memory sharing technology). There will be a bunch of other bits and
bobs too.

Yes!
