[QGIS-Developer] QGIS server vs LTR

As far as I have seen there are two major problems, one actually
caused by a change in QGIS Desktop layout composer, see:

https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2017-July/049400.html

So at is now QGIS Server 2.18.11 is basically broken for use within a
webgis application (no getprints if the layout has a label/text box),
also for me the problem with the legend is a blocker to its adoption.
