[Qgis-psc] Vote about release plan

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Nathan

The idea was that QGIS 3 means Qt 5, PyQt5 and python 3 (bring 
everything to recent versions without the need to provide backwards 
compatibility). At some point we need to make that step, delaying it 
does not make it easier.

Opinions?

Regards,
Marco
