[gdal-dev] Should the next version (previously 2.5) be called GDAL 3.0 ?

Wed May 1 22:00:15 PDT 2019

It's a year of major version bump in GIS. Proj 6 (2x3), PostGIS 3, possibly
pgRouting 3. Three is a popular GIS version number this year.

I'd +1. Only question is whether you have plans for even more major API
breaks this year, so that 3.0 sticks for a little while.
