Samuel, Thanks for the RFC !!!
For my education, is this official final bootstrap 4 version or is it 
still kind of non stable version (alpha sounds like that to me) ? If so 
when will be the official bootstrap 4 ?

This will be major concerns as I feel lot of work if we have to do this.

When you say "It seems that they’re not planning to port to Bootstrap 4 
until it gets stable"? Do you mean until bootstrap 4 not stabilized 
bootgrid team will not port or bootgrid itself have stabilization issues 
and they would not port until they stabilize bootgrid ?

If we have an answer that bootgrid team will wait till bootstrap 4 get 
stabilized then I would not hurry in porting our jQuery Bootgrid code to 
Datatables.net, since it will involve huge effort in porting and at the 
same time in testing.

So in my opinion,  readiness is good idea but at the same time we have 
to make sure we are not spending efforts in porting any of the existing 
code unless we know that there will be no support at all !!!

We have to take conscious decision !!!
