[Qgis-developer] Future of OpenLayers plugin - time to deprecate?

[Mathieu Pellerin]

+1 too, for removing openlayers and looking into putting efforts to come up
with a native TMS driver.

Suggestion: instead of just removing openlayers from the plugin repository,
could we work with the author (if he's reachable and willing) for him to
publish a new plugin update stating that a/ the plugin is discontinued, and
b/ users should migrate to quickservicemap?
