Apache seems to have taken quite the opposite approach with no new releases of AOO since its 3.4.1. Perhaps something somewhere between the two extremes might be nice.
I used to have the same opinion as you. But the incredible progress of LibreOffice in a single year convinced me otherwise. LO is following a time based release method. This means that it is moving forward fast and some bugs do slide in... However the improvement in quality, stability and features make it almost on par with *current* commercial alternatives. A year ago LO was comparable to MS Office 2003. Today it compares with Office 2010 and in some areas it is even better (though not in speed/performance) Fear of updating is where Portable versions are also excellent. You can get X-LibreOffice 4.0.4 today and test it against your stable version. If there are regressions you can skip this version (and ideally report the bug at Bugzilla ;) ) and wait for the next one that solves it. If there are no regressions then you can install the new version. If you have the freedom to test any version without compromising your stable install, isn't that great?
