+1 for making frameworks master now :)

Proposal:
Let's change and not (ab)use the "3.0" version label for the current 
development milestone in the frameworks branch where initial port could be 
declared done-with-no-big-regressions, and thus also not do the first release 
as "3.1".
Let's instead use the "3.0" version for the first release. And simply keep the 
current 3.0 Alpha tag on the frameworks branch.

Not need to dump "3.0" in interface to public and waste time/space in the 
release notes, chats and interviews/articles on where 3.0 is and why 3.0 was 
skipped, where instead features could and should be highlighted :)
Unless anyone can tell if there could be a great promotion spin done out of 
that? ;)

Internally we have been talking about 3.0 as switch-feature-development-to-
frameworks milestone and 3.1 as first-qt5-based release, but well, we are 
smart contributors and can quickly adapt tag labels, right? :)

Objections?

Cheers
Friedrich
