Looks like we might not need another extension if the pace doesn't change, great!

I'm with the others .. This should be the last extension. We're close to have everything included and at some point should come to an end and fullfill the predictions we do for our "professional" users

Unsure... Final two PRs are in for layouts work (and will hopefully be merged before this poll expires!). Can we get a status report on the remaining metadata work?

@nyall the metadata work we were hoping to have done before the xmas break. Etienne is just finishing up the file system read/write support - I hope he will have it within the next week or so. Any plans for ATLAS support in 3.0?

I think we've reached a point where we sounds terminate the soft freeze and declare its use a success story. The vote-every-two-weeks method turned out to be a great way to give devs flexibility while avoiding a total absence of ETA altogether.

I think that we'd benefit from at least one more week: the layout PR is not yet completed and there might be are other PRs in the queue that worth a closer look.

IMHO we can move to the hard freeze if remaining pull-requests will be reviewed and merged in reasonable time

I think it's time to move on and set the finish line. Let's push towards getting things fixed and call it a release cycle. Qt is also aiming at version 6, so we can do 4 as well :D http://blog.qt.io/blog/2017/02/22/qt-roadmap-for-2017/

After long thinking, +1 for the very last time, so Nyall and Etienne have a bit more flexibility with last minute changes. Other PRs seem to be a bit abandoned, so I hope it won't really postpone the release.
