Just after some advice with respect to the QGIS LTR schedule.Our IT managers have recently intervened in our use of QGIS (a State Government Authority) and are wanting to put in place a policy to only install and use the LTR release version, stating that the other releases are effectively 'Beta' versions.
Is this how the QGIS developer world sees the other releases?
There view is from a stability and security standpoint, not from training and process mapping (as that has nothing to do with them).
I have seen and read this article - https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/blob/master/QEP-4-QGIS_Long_Term_Releases.rst
Obviously the LTR has a slightly longer testing window so is less likely to have any major issues, but is their view that the other releases are 'Beta' version accurate or misled?
Hoping for advice or suggestions to counter the arguments and continue to have access to the latest functionality - it's one of the things we love about QGIS!
