<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I think in this case we should delay the release until this serious issue can be resolved and was properly tested.</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>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.</p>

<div>Everyone who has been actively testing 4.0 nightlies has probably seen this coming, but we're just NOT ready to publicly release 4.0 on the 20th. Aside from anything else, we still don't have a fix for the profile corruption bug* which should be a blocker alone. With this one a user's 3.x profile can get completely corrupted, and/or cause hangs on loading 3.x/4.0. </div>

<div>What should we do?</div>
