[QGIS-Developer] Good news: next Ubuntu version shipping with gdal3/proj6

[Mathieu Pellerin]

Bas,

Will QGIS 3.4.15 be built against GDAL 2 or GDAL 3 / PROJ 6 for ubuntu
focal? If it's the latter, that's likely very problematic (Nyall can
confirm).

We learned the hard way there is no practical way to ship a reliable 3.4.X
build against GDAL 3 / PROJ 6.
