We keep this issue for throwing ideas and discussion about version 2.x. All the stuff that is too big or BC for version 1.

Intention for 2.x is to update to Bootrstrap 5 and keep other changes to minimum.

Drop support for IE11 and other old browsers, like Edge before Chromium engine.
Bootstrap 5 implementation.
Replace custom floating labels solution with Bootstrap build in solution.
Use Bootstrap offcanvas component instead of custom JS code ported from Jasny Bootstrap, https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.1/components/offcanvas/.
Try to support responsive grids if Bootstrap supports this properly.
Check CSS variables and consider using/changing where it make sense and will not make too much problems with upgrading custom theme code.
Try to have page regions (other then main content) region that are more paragraphs layout friendly.
Remove bs_bootstrap so we have only one base theme - there is really no resources to support more then one framework for now and having two base themes are complicating things without any benefits for now.

Remove theme-options.yml feature. Projects that want's to continue using theme-options.yml can move this code to it's base theme and also consider to replace gulp-sass-inject node lib with https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-sass-vars.
Automated tests implementation and test coverage.
Use CSS variables
Use https://github.com/tancredi/fantasticon for SVG to font generation.
Use Bootstrap responsive font sizes and spacing units based on browser viewport dimension. This replace two previous points.
Bootstrap components implementation with the help of components module. →
Consider mixing utilities and semantically clean approach in HTML and CSS.
Bootstrap 5 does not require jQuery any more. Try to remove as much as possible jQuery from our custom JS code.
[LOW prio] Some kind of pattern generator for static site, https://patternlab.io/docs/ or https://fractal.build/guide/
