I guess that with 4.76 we're more than three-quarters done! ;^)

But no, I don't see a sign of 5.0, or even discussion of what desirable radical changes would justify a major version number change. It might just be that we run out of minor version numbers!

For the core server, LEMONADE compliance might be worth a full version bump. Since that requires several distinct changes, it's something that could be the end point of several minor version bumps.
