Hi all,
I hate cooling down the enthusiasm, but I really see LTS as an empty
word. To me, the whole issue boils down to having resources to do
serious backporting of fixes. Without that, LTS will have no practical
effect, as users will use the latest, more bugfixed version.
This is exactly what has happened in the past.
So from my point of view what we need is not +something, but funders
supporting backporting. I'd be against spending our limited core
funding for this.
Reading this post i get a bit confused about the future of QGIS and its
target,
because in the QGIS Release schedule for 2015 (QGIS web site) there is
a "2.8 LTR" release,
maybe this LTR release is to be bugfixed,
maybe just a release to stuck with if you don't like to switch but with
no planned bug fixing,
this is no clear to me ...
In short: power users, if you need stability, please set aside some
funds to stably support a backporter, year round, and you'll have your
much sought after long term stability.
It is also nice to have someone who keeps us with our feet on the ground :-)
thanks and regards,
Roy.
