And a small addition to my mail of a couple of minutes ago ... :)
<snip>s here and there.

Keeping to the core and only doing small additions (and fibes to currently known
bugs, for example) will, IMO, decrease the chance on major breakage, and more
stable code means more time to concentrate on usage.

Nothing against OOo, but my experience there with snapshot releases is that they
tend to take huge amounts of time and always bring up more problems than
expected.

Real life? Explain :)
Seriously though, I can imagine releases are hard, but as already said in other
words I think the advantages weigh up to the costs in this case.
