<br>
The idea was that QGIS 3 means Qt 5, PyQt5 and python 3 (bring
everything to recent versions without the need to provide
backwards compatibility). At some point we need to make that step,
delaying it does not make it easier.<br>
<br>
Opinions?<br>

<p dir="ltr">Going for 3.0 also about when and why we break API
with more of a lean towards the why. For me the only thing
really forcing us is PyQt5 and that is the only real driver,
pretty much everything else can be retro fitted in. Not nice
but breaking API just just because and for a version number
isn't cool.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So with that said when are we going to be forced to
go to PyQt5? If we aren't going to be forced for a while then I
think we should just keep keeping on and do 3.0 later. </p>

long as we can until forced with PyQt5, we can always write
wrappers over hard to us APIs</p>

<br>
From the last psc meeting and the following discussion on the
mailing<br>
list (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-psc/2015-April/002966.html"

and following mails) it seems most people are happy with
skipping the<br>
2.10 release and having 3.0 in autumn (feature freeze
September, release<br>
october).<br>
<br>
It will be good to have an official PSC decision with voting
about it.<br>
Please give your votes if you agree with skipping 2.10 and go
for 3.0 in<br>
autumn.<br>
<br>
(obviously +1 for me).<br>
<br>

Marco<br>
