[QGIS-Developer] Unblock legacy db-manager plugin

[Julien Moura (Oslandia)]

Hi Nyall,

Thank you for moving this issue forward to make QGIS more maintainable.

However, unless I'm mistaken, I haven't received a response to my 
comment (https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/pull/385# 
issue-comment-4657354328) on the QEP asking to follow a phased 
deprecation plan and to properly inform users and developers before it 
takes effect.

I think this is really important, because as you yourself write here and 
there, QGIS is no longer a hobby project or one that can introduce 
breaking changes without considering end users.

Can we please wait to establish a clear plan to communicate and make the 
removal progressive (and no merging 
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/66545 right now)?

kind regards,
Julien
