> I have a feeling that they just tinker…
Totally! First, they took the easy way out with a complete rewrite for Bootstrap 4.
"With Bootstrap 4, we once again rewrote the project to account for two key architectural changes: a migration to Sass and the move to CSS’s flexbox. Our intention is to help in a small way to move the web development community forward by pushing for newer CSS properties, fewer dependencies, and new technologies across more modern browsers."
For Bootstrap 5, they didn't even do that much — just new and updated components (including checks and radios), new and updated utilities, significantly-enhanced forms support, RTL support, improvements to the grid system, and more.

The documentation makes reference to an announcement on the blog, which doesn't seem to be available. If anybody wants to keep watch, be my guest: http://blog.getbootstrap.com.
I've been keeping an eye on the pull request (https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/pull/6342) and the gh-pages branch (https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/tree/gh-pages) for other Bootstrap 3 information.
http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/customize strongly suggests there will be another RC after this one.

> When we shipped Bootstrap 3, we immediately discontinued all support for v2.x, causing a lot of pain for all our users out there. That was a mistake we won’t be making again. For the foreseeable future, we’ll be maintaining Bootstrap 3 with critical bug fixes and documentation improvements. v3 docs will also continue to be hosted after v4’s final release.

That's not accurate on breaking changes, there will be additional ones in the future:
> We’ve done our best to prevent breaking changes, but we had to sneak some in. Regrettably, we’ll also have a few more coming in Beta 3, too. However, we’re clearly outlining all of them for you to make the upgrade and testing process as easy as possible.

Why is this at the top of HN right now? It's still in alpha. It's a good alpha and I've been using it on some projects, but I think some people might be mislead that this is the final release with the "4.0" in the title.
The most recent version is alpha 6, and it sounds like they are shooting for their first beta version next: http://blog.getbootstrap.com/2017/01/06/bootstrap-4-alpha-6/

sooo...
Counter(re.findall(r"[^a-zA-Z]([a-zA-Z]+)[^a-zA-Z]",requests.get("http://blog.getbootstrap.com/2013/02/07/bootstrap-2-3-released/).content.lower()))I see one occurrence of 'shit'. I'm not sure how I feel about your pansy ass semi-outrage of someone else's release page language.
Oh, wait. I feel nothing, approximately what this entire conversation thread is worth.
