[gdal-dev] Motion: Promote GDAL 3.0.0 rc2 for release

[jratike80]

Hi,

Even answered in a mail on Thu May 2 00:43:37 PDT 2019:

"Well, I was about *releasing* the version, and don't intend to postpone it 
significantly, so no there won't be any surprise last-minute changes than
the 
ones already documented in MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT. After all, major version 
numbers are cheap, so if during the next dev cycle 3.1dev turns out to need 
API breaks, it will be 4.0 ..."
