Not 30.0 (Emacs doesn't have XX.0 releases), but 30.1.  And yes, it
definitely should happen this year (if you mean year 2024, that is).

The emacs-29 branch is basically closed for code changes, except very

development happens there, and no new features will be added to that
branch.  (And yes, reproducible build is a new feature for this
purpose.)
