Hi Mathieu,
Thanks a lot. It reads very well!
Something that I'd like to add is that in case of still finding a bug,
users should file issues and to mention proximity of LTR replacement.
If you still happen to find QGIS behaving in an unexpected way, please
let us know on https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues&sa=D&source=hangouts&ust=1579773605204000&usg=AFQjCNHP21SO7MPYwrn023vHOeZwMUBKuQ>
as always. We are very happy that QGIS 3.10 is now in shape to replace
3.4 as LTR in a month time.
Bests
Matthias
