There's actually been QuantumGIS/QGIS, QuantumGIS/QGIS2 and there is QGIS/QGIS2
now. I guess in the future there could be something else, thus the idea of letting
users copy from somewhere else. Think at QGIS3 time, someone upgrading from QGIS1
would have two possible places to copy from. Is it too complex to let users decide
where to copy from ?
