The current state of 3.0 is quite encouraging. I suggest a round of testing this summer, followed by -alpha early August, -beta in late August, -rc1 in mid-September ... and we'll see depending on the feedback.
From a distributor's point of view the following.
If the final 3.0 will be released after September we probably won't be able to ship it in the next Debian stable. That is not a problem in and of itself, however, it means that we need to security support the 2.11 branch for at least the period until the next stable release comes out + 1 year. That is our responsibility, but I was wondering whether you as upstream authors would be willing to provide some kind of security-only support for the 2.11 branch for some time period.
It might influence the decision on which version we would include in the next stable release.
cheers, Thijs
