​Good, great that's settled!

I think we should start educating (plugin) devs and power users that a
switch to 3.0 will be necessary within a time frame of approx. 2 years
(Please correct me if I misunderstood) so they can take this information
into account when planning development.

If you agree, I can write a short blog post as a first step.

Best wishes,
