[Qgis-developer] Plans for next QGIS releases

[DelazJ]

Hi,

I came across reading QGIS release schedule at
http://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/roadmap.
html#release-schedule and wonder if that really reflects the decision that
was taken. The online roadmap exposed that:

#. 3.0 will be a LTR (actually from 3.0.9 - nine months after first
release?)
#. 3.0 will be LTR for *4 months*, replaced by 3.2
#. 3.2 will be released 9 months after 3.0 (not a multiple of 4 months but
I guess it was about rescaling release dates....)

My thoughts/questions:
- I wasn't aware that 3.0 was ever supposed to be LTR. Is that the plan?
- I fail to understand the reason why once 3.0 is released, we continue to
break our "four-months release" policy. Any reason to not release 3.2 four
months after 3.0.0 and push it as LTR four months later (as usual)? This is
what I understood from this discussion but maybe i missed some points... Or
are there mistakes in the online doc ?

Btw, great idea to make distinct columns for LTR and regular releases in
the table. It really eases the reading (and remark mistakes?)...

Regards,
Harrissou
