[QGIS-Developer] Keeping OTB algorithm in qgis processing

[Alexander Bruy]

Hi Werner,

there are no plugins for SAGA and GRASS, but this is just because they
are in core.
Also seems we need to clarify, removal from core does not means wiping
all stuff,
this just mean that existing code will be separated into plugin and
published on GitHub
and QGIS plugins repository. Then interested people can take ownership
and continue
development and maintenance.

Exactly in the same way we removed LiDAR tools provider (now
maintained by Martin Isenburg)
and TauDEM provider (maintained by me, along with several others
Processing providers).
