There is no way to avoid changing Leo's codebase in minor ways. For example, PR #4240 changes Leo's mime.py plugin a bit. I chose not to have the plugin use mailcap even on versions of Python earlier than 3.13. mailcap is going away, and we may as well adjust now.

I'll continue to fix significant bugs, including changes required by changed APIs. But that's all:

- All items scheduled for Leo 6.8.4 are delegated to others.

- Python 3.14 isn't coming until later this year and isn't likely to break any part of Leo.
