[Qgis-psc] Idea: rename 3.42 to "Denali"

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

This is obviously unpleasant matters to deal with, but if we don't 
react, what will become our freedoms ?

So following my initial move in GDAL in 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11865, I'm following up with:

- GeoJSON writer: insert GDAL_RELEASE_NICKNAME: 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11875

-  GPKG: insert GDAL_RELEASE_NICKNAME: 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11876

-  GTiff: insert GDAL_RELEASE_NICKNAME in GDAL_METADATA tag: 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11877

- MapServer: https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/7233

- PROJ: https://github.com/OSGeo/PROJ/pull/4406

- GEOS: https://github.com/libgeos/geos/pull/1243

So QGIS is *going* to be affected, whatever it decides for itself

Cheers,

Even
