<div>Well, I really second Matthias's point of view here.
<br>
</div>
<div>This may weaken our message about LTR long term
support. Many corporations are *just* migrating to it
now and we have hard time convincing them to stick with
LTR versions so that they can fund and benefit of fixes
during the LTR lifespan. I'm afraid that freezing it now
will upset some of them. <br>

<div>If the options of building a dedicated OSGEO4W
installer with old GDAL and proj is feasable, I am
really really +1 on this. <br>
</div>
</div>
</div>

<p>Originally I wasn't even thinking about an OSGeo4W installer, I
was simply hoping for standalone installers. But if OSGeo4W
double-packaging is feasible, that would be the cherry on top.<br>

<div>Anyway, it is a major change and I totally understand
the situation. Many thanks again for digging into
constructive solutions. <br>
</div>
<div>If we explain largely the benefits of PROJ6, I am
confident most users will understand the move, and a 3
months wait is not a long wait for fixes.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As soon as we have a clear view on the strategy, I
think we MUST communicate widely. We can also ask for
support for this, though it will not be an easy
message. <br>

<p>I agree, this would be perfectly served in a post including all
the advantages of proj6 which have been widely distributed on
tech channels, but went by unnoticed by a large audience.
Spreading the word about this bundled with the effects on the
gis ecosystem would make a very good news.<br>
