[QGIS-Developer] "Early Adopter" release

[Patrick Dunford]

Can someone please explain to me why Qgis 3.0 banner is named "early 
adopter release"

In other words what stage of development is Qgis 3.0 expected to be at 
in terms of user experience.

As a related question how many bugs do you expect to fix for each 
release and at what point do you expect to have made major inroads into 
the bugs backlog.

Thanks
