[Qgis-developer] Requesting bug fix extension through weekend

[Bo Victor Thomsen]

I, my customers and without a doubt: Several thousands of ordinary users 
of QGIS would simply _love_ the idea of having a stable branch which is 
only updated with bugfixes. The problem with using QGS - "weekly" is 
that you get the bugfixes, but also a lot of new - very untested - 
technology. This gets the ordinary users stuck between a rock and a hard 
place.
