>From a user's point of view, having a tried and dependable LTR is an
important feature.
The new main version has finally addressed the needed upgrade of python
(2->3) and Qt (4->5) but also abandoned the idea of QGIS as a simple viewer
that acquires editing abilities by plugins. Plugins are not anymore needed
for several tasks and require sometimes a major upgrade, because of the
transition to python 3.
As the road map shows that the LTR version will rely on version 2 for a
fairly long time, what about letting it live in a separate namespace as to
let the two versions coexist, keeping the needed version 2 plugins for the
LTR?
