Hi Mark! Please keep in mind that's there's some non-negotiables here: 1. No extra code will be allowed in master to handle GDAL < 2.0. QGIS 3.0 has a hard GDAL >= 2.0 requirement, and no code will be accepted to work around this requirement. 2. 2.18 is a stable branch and only bug fixes which do not affect the stability of the release will be accepted. As it stands PR #3697 (opened against 2.18) is far too intrusive for inclusion in the stable release branch. As Even stated, you'll need to open a series of smaller, self-contained PRs against the master branch only (keeping in mind the requirement that all master code is GDAL >= 2.0 only). When these are accepted it's possible that certain PRs from this series will be applicable for backporting to 2.x, but that will need to be determined only after the PRs have been fully reviewed and accepted in to master.
