    <p>QGIS 3 is still not even released while 2.18 received more path
      releases than any QGIS release before (except for 2.14). QGIS 2.99
      is probably more stable already now than QGIS 2.18.0 has been.<br>

      <p>QGIS 3 is way more unstable than QGIS 2.18. We need at least
        1.5 months, better 2 months between feature freeze and release.
        If we move feature freeze, say, until end of November, we can't
        release in December or we would loose the good reputation that
        QGIS built in the last couple of years.</p>

    I would prefer to keep feature freeze in place and only discuss for
    what we need exemptions. At the same time we can already improve the
    quality of the release and perform bugfixing. Based on the
    aforementioned discussion we can decide how much time we need.<br>

        is not a pleasant piece of software currently, but a major
        source of headaches and grief, not because of UI or missing
        features, but because of all the crashes I often experience (and
        are often hard to reproduce and report).</p>

                    <pre>The "release when ready" policy was made for 3.0 and only for 3.0.  The plan is

                  Nice, looks like everyone agrees.<br>
