Re: [QGIS-Developer] Do we really need experimental and non-experimental plugins?

Hi, Maybe I am late on this discussion. I agree that showing experimental plugins by default and asking our base users to manage updates from experimental to stable versions may not be a simple task, nor a desired one. But what about showing experimental plugins by default when they are new plugin

Dear Borys, for our plugin (the OpenQuake Integrated Risk Modelling Toolkit [1]) we have been very happy to use the "experimental" flag so far, and we consider it a very useful feature. For us, the ideal workflow would be to release a new version of the plugin flagged as experimental, then let ou
