As mentioned yesterday, I would rather not see "soft api breaks"
between minor releases because I think it's confusing and messy when
there could be clear rules that no api breaks are allowed between
minor releases. It's a question of how safe devs and users feel to
invest into developing tools for QGIS.

I agree and think that 2.12 could become 3.0 since there seems to be
some level of agreement that the February release should be the LTR
and conservative users might prefer a 3.2 LTR.

I assume this should be discussed and decided on 26th.

Best wishes,
