Thanks Rashad for your prompt reply. I think Victor, Alex, and Nyall
(who is refactoring Processing for QGIS 3 and porting it to C++) are in
the best position to reply.
>From my point of view, I think I'll interpret the feelings and needs of
thousands of users saying that we cannot miss OTB from Processing. Same
for R, this has been raised recently on the mailing list.
I think the steps are:
* create an independent provider (sub-plugin of Processing) for OTB
* publish it on the official repo.
Rashad, would you be willing to take ownership of that plugin?
All the best, and thanks again.
