As I understand we have some pretty exciting stuff in line willing to be
incorporated in a 3.0 version (Nyall's stuff, Marco's geom stuff,
qml-stuff, ??? ...). Will putting all this nice stuff into master not
making it harder to backport other smaller fixes into 2.8 again? Feature
freeze is just 38d away: enough to put all this stuff into master, but
also easy to put a lot of side issues in it.

In my view our 'commitment' to universities etc to have a LTR would also
mean that we have a clear planning. Like:
- 2.10 will be the last one in the 2.0 line, so we will try to backport
issues untill 2.10 (and maybe 2.10.x) is released
- then we start 3.0 with all the new nice thingies.. and we make sure
that the next LTR will be as stable one too (while 3.0 probably will
have some toothing issues...)

My gutt feeling now is that I'm not in favour of going to a 3.0 version
one version after 2.8 L(!)tr. I see the Juergen's argument 'it is just a
number', but I think that for non community members this numbering AND
planning of it is more important (then it actually is for us)?

ps there will always a tension about the fast-moving devs and the maybe
more conservative large corporation/governmental/university user-base...
So whatever is decided, I'm in :-)
