[Qgis-user] [Qgis-developer] Synergy of QGIS Enterprise and QGIS 2.0/Master branch

[Chris Berkhout]

I'm happy for companies to do whatever they want (and are allowed) to do.

As for the QGIS project having a stable branch, I think it's treating the
symptoms rather than the cause. I'd much rather see the effort that that
might consume be put into making the main branch more stable. With a strong
test suite regressions can become very rare, even with constant development
of new features.

I'm fairly new to QGIS, so I can't speak with a full understanding of the
current situation. I just wanted to share my hopes for the future of the
project.

Cheers,
Chris
