[QGIS-Developer] QGIS 3.0 beta

[Tim Sutton]

Hi


I would lean towards -1 for a beta - we have had this same debate numerous
times before and tried using beta's before. I don't think a beta will
substantially increase testing uptake and it has the rather bad side effect
that people will be using old code as their reference point (as opposed to
using the nightly builds where they can see the latest fixes at any time).

I'm happy to keep quiet if others think it is worth doing...

Regards

Tim
