[QGIS-Developer] Where do we sit with respect to release?

[Tom Chadwin]

I know there is excitement, and I'm sure all the devs want the release done.
However, I think Juergen's proposal is the best (release 23 Feb):

- more debugging time
- tallies with established release cycle
- respects the advice and plans of the Release Manager

I 100% prioritise stability over early release. As you know, I'm not a QGIS
dev, so I'm speaking to you both as a user and as the manager of an
organization's installation base (about 30 seats). 

Yes, I know you will say we have LTR, but a significant aim of the QGIS
project is to increase our user base. As Nyall says, many people will hear
about the 3 release and try QGIS out. Stability is absolutely critical for
those first-timers. Their point of comparison is everyone's favourite
proprietary GIS. I imagine they also prioritise stability.

Hope this makes sense

Tom
