<div>I don’t think there is any choice other than to dive into
the bottomless pit to invest in getting those bugs fixed.
The only way out I can see is to a) get stricter about
accepting code that lacks tests and b) invest an equal
amount in unit test development that we can catch bugs
before they enter the code base….</div>

<p>I believe that the first option is the most reasonable.</p>

<div class="">Personally I wonder if we shouldn't
have a break in features for a period of one
release where all of use would focus on
stabilizing QGIS and improving the quality - both
of QGIS itself and also in the documentation. Have
one release windows (4 months) where we do not
accept any major new features, but concentrate on
fixing issues.<br class="">

<p>It sounds reasonable. I think we should get acceptance from most
active developers before proceeding, as this would impact on paid
work for new features. Also, it overlaps with our concept of LTR.</p>
<p>All the best.<br>
