Hi Tom,
at some level i agree with you, having 2 branches does not make much sense,
specially for desktop applications such as libreoffice. It will confuse people
who do not read which version is applicable for which environment.
In marketing the way I have seen such situations handled is

I'm sorry but that only seems to confirm what i have been saying :( Obviously
i am wrong but where is my mistake?

Hi :)
I think it is important to clarify what the product is. Then sell it for what
it is. As opposed to what we currently do, which is to
1. Find the Unique Selling Points of the product
and then
2. Try to sell it by making claims that more true of the other branch and not
really true of

Tom,
Somehow you are now asking *very important and fundamental questions*
but still manage to ruin stuff with implying that PRs don't tell the
truth. See my comments inline..

Hi :)
Hmmm, sorry Tim but i think the 2 branch model is good. It lets people get

We are honest and transparent. Each new version is more stable than the

What instead of debating on whether the two branches are stable or not,

When it comes to communicate, unless we are on a specific campaign, I'd

Having a choice and being truthfully informed about the choice can help people
