These larger items in the roadmap are part of a long-term development vision for Moodle, which is heavily influenced by requests from our user community.  Each release also includes a lot of smaller items that come direct from the community and are included in core if they are popular and if they "fit" the overall design.

Moodle 3.4

After Moodle 2.0 we switched to time-based releases rather than feature-based releases (see our development process). Because of this, the details below are an indication of current priorities only, and are subject to change according to how long things actually take to finish. Anything not ready by the following dates will generally be pushed to the next major release.
