          <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>

                    <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>
