Hopefully v17 will bring with it some stability. Looking back we skipped v12, v14 and so far have not used v16 in production. My job is not to spend time identifying and reporting bugs to 4D. My job is delivering solutions to my customers. Sometimes that involves using non 4D solutions, sometimes it involves working around long standing bugs or undesirable features of 4D. When 4D becomes an open source project then I will contribute to its development but while I am paying hard cash it is 4D’s job to provide the debugging, analysis and fixing resources. If a version or feature is unstable, untrusted or unusable I simply do not adopt it or I adopt it in a way that is not going to hurt my clients, that is my job.
