+1 for Bo Victor's idea which seems a good compromise to avoid that painful LTS version. What about having no fixed duration for the bug fixing phase for that LTS-ish version, but releasing it only when there's no blocker left in the tracker ? (I'd find it strange to publish such a version with

[Qgis-developer] Query layers are bad layers when empty

Hi ! I love the query layer feature ! But there's something which makes it unusable : as soon as it returns an empty result set (which is absolutely valid), it is considered as a bad layer upon file opening, and the layer is destroyed. When working with spatialite, it triggers the handle bad
