[QGIS-Developer] Print Composer Bug with Scale and Rotation

[Mathieu Pellerin]

FYI, I coincidentally spotted this nice commit (
https://github.com/nextgis/quickmapservices/commit/9ae9efd6bf2a162762262672bd93c9958cc822d1)
pushed to QuickMapServices' repository. This will make it possible to add
native XYZ layers via the QuickMapServices and therefore benefit from all
of is greatness (rotation as mentioned above, etc.)
