If this is a breaking change, should we at least bump to 3.14? If we should not, is it really a breaking change?

Agreed, breaking changes are usually leading to a bump in the MAJOR version though, not in a MINOR, or even PATCH version.

The reason why I added this to the news file is that under some circumstances (like using mamba version 2), Python is not added to the installer anymore unless requested in the constructor.yaml file. I think this is a breaking change.

I don't think it's breaking in the sense of requiring v4, imo. It's a change in how the installer is bootstrapped, but not in a way that would impact users. If the installer implicitly required python but it was not added as an explicit dependency, it's really unlikely none of the other packages mentioned would have brought it in.

In that sense I'm inclined to call this release 3.14, not 4.0.

That sounds fair to me. Adding Python implicitly was never really a feature, more of a necessary nuisance. It was never really transparent to the user why Python was always added. I removed the breaking change language from the change log.

This removes Python as an implicit dependency from installers. (#549 via #1089)
* EXE: Improve handling of options `initialize_conda`, `register_python` with their corresponding default values. The behavior of these options
with respect to `initialize_by_default` and `register_python_default` is now consistent with `.sh` and `.pkg` installers.
Windows CLI installations now don't add `conda` to `PATH` or register Python by default, and command-line arguments are
only parsed when installing in silent mode (enabled with the flag `/S`). (#1003, #1004 via #1105)

### Bug fixes

* Ensure cached repodata files are shipped in SH installers. (#1119 via #1121).
