Thanks for spearheading this project, I think it's a very valuable goal and
I'm excited to see where this leads!

On a related note, I'm really interested in opinions on how much we need to
protect high-security risk organisations from QGIS abuse from WITHIN the
organisation? It seems impossible that we could ever get to a state where
QGIS can be used in areas of high internal security risk when users can
just open a Python console and do **WHATEVER** they want. 😅  I'm wondering
if at some stage we'll need to deliver a "Security hardened QGIS" version
(eg alongside the LTR), which is built with NO Python or plugin support and
could be safely used within these contexts...
