The effort to explore the future of the OpenAPI Specification is known as "Moonwalk." It includes 4.x considerations but also strives to consider 3.x. There is no planned end date to 4.0, so we strongly recommend using the 3.x versions that exist today.

One of the Moonwalk discussions is indeed about moving from objects to arrays for many structures: https://github.com/OAI/moonwalk/discussions/32 Also, I agree with the person who mentioned JSON Patch (RFC 6902), which I feel is an under-rated and underused technology. While less intuitive than JSON Merge Patch (RFC 7396), it is far more powerful. I have used both together, using JSON Merge Patch where possible to keep things more readable and intuitive, and using JSON Patch where JSON Merge Patch can't do what is needed. Although if most of your changes need JSON Patch, I find it's better to just stick with that.
