That's only for "native" QGIS algorithms. External provider based algorithms (GDAL/SAGA/GRASS/etc) will still show up under folders for those providers, just like 2.x. It's another way to push people to try the QGIS native algorithms by default. (which reminds me - the current grouping is a mess of duplicate and near identical groups... we need to clean that up before release and have only a few logical, non overlapping categories) > I've also noticed that GRASS > and SAGA are no longer providers in the latest nightly release.

Yes - it's a work in progress still. SAGA algs are being worked on in https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/5021, we need someone to step up and port the GRASS ones. GDAL still has a few left to port (volunteers welcome), but the QGIS ones are 97% there (I'll do the remainder of those). We desperately NEED more people to step up and help here. In the worst case scenario (no-one ports grass or the remaining GDAL algs) I'll have to resort to reverting all the c++ processing improvements OR have duplicate "processingv2" plugin type approach (with only the ported algs, and a duplicate "processing v1" 2.x style plugin). > When enabled, will these algs be placed into the appropriate operation > folder in toolbox? > > Will they be enabled by default or will users need to enable those providers > via Settings-->Providers? No change here from 2.x. Off topic - but I'd love to see your slides from OSGEO4w!
