2. Update 4 letters for min prefix length

Plugin review team decided for several reason to increase the Prefix All Globals to 4 characters. You can also join the discussion in the GitHub if you want to add any input.

Also, you can join the discussion for changing in WordPress coding standards. @davidperez said that it will be merged to 3.2.0.

To make the consistency in themes and plugins, we need to make the guidelines for 4 characters prefixing. Comment down below if you have any other thoughts. Personally, I think that it is good to have 4 letters prefixing. We can set the standard for the prefixing.

3. Twenty Twenty-Five theme development
