Indeed we need to hear people once for all on this (these) topic(s) and ensure any contribution is not rejected or discouraged.

It's also clear that after 2.14, the next LTR will be 3.2.

Now there will be no 2.20 and the next LTR is two releases away so, as Richard said "the main question is: do we decide to NOT release a newer documentation(!) 2.x branch anymore this year.?" In other words: Do we keep 2.x series documentation at 2.14 level, while there are 2.16 and 2.18 releases that would surely be used for a while?<br class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg">That's all!

</span>Hi Alexandre,<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
the main reason holding back 3.0 descriptions from master is to be able<br class="gmail_msg">
to release a (nowadays pretty theoretical?) new LTR in 2.x branch.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
This in case that waiting for a stable 3.x (plus a reasonable set of<br class="gmail_msg">
working python plugins!) would take too long, and the community would<br class="gmail_msg">
decide or ask for another 2.x release to be able to do their daily work<br class="gmail_msg">
with QGIS.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
IF we are more or less sure that there will NO MORE 2.x QGIS (LTR's?)<br class="gmail_msg">
anymore, we can decide to lift this clear 2.x - 3.x separation (thanks<br class="gmail_msg">
Harrissou for defending this :-) ).<br class="gmail_msg">

So the main question is: do we decide to NOT release a newer<br class="gmail_msg">
