[Qgis-psc] Next 4.x LTR

[David Signer]

Thanks, Denis, for raising this topic.

I understand the considerations publishing 4.2 as LTR. But I believe many
users would be disappointed by another rescheduling. They have been waiting
quite a while for a release with more than 4 months of support, especially
since we already rescheduled release 4.0. For most of them, an LTR is
nothing else than a release that gets longer support.

Of course, we would need to make it clear that e.g. HTML support is not
provided and that moving from 3 to 4 is a big step that carries some risks.

I just wanted to point this out. Anyway I'm open to being convinced that a
reschedule is really necessary. Thanks anyway and cheers
Dave
