Just a reminder, there are also "snapshots" of the UbuntuGIS ppa, e.g. for Xenial the OSGeoLive 11.0 ppa:
https://launchpad.net/~osgeolive/+archive/ubuntu/release-11.0

Wondering if we should keep QGIS 2.x in the stable ppa or move to 3.x
QGIS 2.x is EOL, so 3.x is preferred.
As long as there is still a repo that has 2.x for Xenial, does QGIS.org
still have this? There are still workflows that break under 3.x, getting
fewer every day but I know my lab is still in transition between due to
missing features and regressions in 3.
These exist, but unsure for how long:

  https://qgis.org/ubuntu-ltr-2.18/
  https://qgis.org/ubuntugis-ltr-2.18/

Seems 3.x LTS in Unstable, latest release from QGIS.org, and 2.x in
Stable would keep all options open.
As long as those stable users understand that they are on their own in
case of issues, they cannot rely on us or upstream for fixes.

Kind Regards,

Bas

Correct, no one on 2.x expects fixes. We just expect to be able to
continue using, and therefore installing 2.x with ubuntugis deps (gdal)
until the time that 3 can completely be used instead.

I recommend we keep 2.x stable for Xenial for a few more months.

Thanks,
Alex
