[QGIS-Developer] Realistically, we can't release in 2 days 😱

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

I think in this case we should delay the release until this serious 
issue can be resolved and was properly tested.

Nyall - are you available to finish the fix for the issue around the 
profile corruption issue? It can be handled through our bug fixing 
initiative. I would appreciate it a lot!

We told everyone that QGIS 4.0 isn't ready for production use, so people 
probably aren't really counting on using QGIS 4.0 anytime soon.
