[OpenLayers-Dev] OpenLayers 2.10 versus 3.0

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hi Roald,

the only worry I have about this approach is a limit of resources. OL is
not running on a lot of developer time lately.

So I would limit the 2.X branch to only regressions that come up, and not
backport every bugfix to 2.X.

Thanks for bringing up a good discussion point. I am also interested to
hear the opinion of others on this.

Best regards,
Bart
