Thanks Nyall for raising this. This indeed fells like "deja vu" and we need to advertise users that a fresh new major release will for sure need point releases. We didn't probably explain well enough that 3.4 is the LTR candidate, but will definitly be a LTR in january at the end of life of 2.18

That's rather unfortunate, but most probably needed. The issue raised, 20262, affects WMS(T), XYZ, WFS, etc. layers. On top of - and very much due to - the gravity of the bug itself, 3.4 is flagged as LTR, and it'd be most appropriate to insure that people jumping onto this new LTR aren't left
