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

[Olivier Dalang]

+1 for more stable release even if it's a few more weeks

If feature freeze is confirmed, I would also suggest to send an email to
all plugin devs to say that no plugin will work anymore and to give some
pointers as to how to migrate the plugins to python/qgis 3. Most devs are
probably well aware of upcomming QGIS3, but this may still wake up some of
us, and centralizing the info about how to migrate to QGIS3 would be nice
for all of us anyway.

Another email to both dev and uses mailing lists to encourage people to
test extensively with actual projects and to remind people on best
practices to report bugs (especially concerning whether a bug should be
flagged as blocker or not) would also probably be very useful to have
better feedback from testing.

Thank you very much and happy new year :)

Olivier
