Hi Roberto,

You may not be aware that QGIS is currently moving toward version 3.0, and
as part of that we have broken compatibility for plugins made for 2.x.

As a result all plugins and scripts will need to be reworked anyway,
including adapting them for qt5 and python 3.

As such it's actually the perfect time to introduce a change like this!

Cheers
