Like Star Wars, Ember's continuity is a big part of its success. We can't afford (and don't want) to break compatibility of change the way we do stability. Many of the core team have long lived apps!
On the other hand, Ember was built for a time when ES3 "classes" and globals were the way that people built web software. A time before npm. A time before JavaScript iterables.
So it's now time to carefully, with respect for existing apps, and within the context of the Ember compatibility model, migrate towards a framework that embraces JavaScript as it is today.
Concretely, @pzuraq (and many others') work on ES6 classes, the huge effort by those on the learning team to modernize documentation, @kellyselden's work on tree shaking, the recent (landed in 2.16) improved modules API, @simonihmig's work on making jQuery optional,
and the work to break Ember into packages that can be opted into a needed are, cumulatively, a huge amount of work to modernize the core of Ember.
And each and every one of those changes is being done within the context of Ember's compatibility model. New apps will be able to take advantage of the more modern underpinnings, but so will new code in existing apps.
And codemods help migrate existing apps in ways I frankly would not have expected (the codemod for migrating test code away from unneeded jQuery dependencies is a tour de force).
The focus so far this year for Ember has been modernization and as a person whose company has to maintain an Ember app originally written the 1.0 era, I love it. Let the past die so the future may live.
