Re: [libreoffice-marketing] stable? Re: [tdf-announce] The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice 3.5.3

Hi :)
That is not the problem.  Of course nothing is 100% perfect and a lot of the work that people do is 
to make things better.  


We currently have 1 release that does seem to be excellent and very stable, the 3.4.6.  

The 3.5.x is not as stable as the 3.4.6 (from what we see on the User List) but does have an 
advantage in having significantly more functionality, a better look, more features and is generally 
just a lot sexier.  

Each new branch seems to introduce a ton of new features and additional functionality.  This 
sometimes seems to add regressions or creates problems that were not there in previous releases.  
As the branch matures the instabilities settle down.  

In sales&marketing it would seem obvious that it is better to sell a product based on it's 
advantages NOT on  wishful thinking.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Tom,

When we release versions it means that we're trying to improve the software
anyway. But because it is software, please understand that there will
always be bugs. Even if we release a 3.5.19, it will still be buggy. That's
the nature of software. So if by any chance you have the impression that
developers do not care about bugs or that we will reach one day a point
where we release something without bugs, you are quite misguided. This
being said, if you have bugs, or know people who have specific bugs I
encourage you and them to file bug reports, as that is something helpful.

Best,
Charles.
