I want to echo Diederik here. Stability/bugs have been my issues with OC on my personal install. Files disappearing and all those related issues(in the past). While it has gotten better, there have been regressions as well that didn't get caught before a rollout. Hell, right now I'm running an outdated version because I'm scared to update; OC made me restore from backup before(which I never like doing, I don't have the time to do a multi-tiered backup like I would like).
Maybe if we release security update versions, with minimal changes, and all other changes separately this would help. I do know I would appreciate more through testing and a longer period of change freezes to allow for more testing. While these issues have gotten better as the project matures, there is still issues out there and there is a lingering mistrust of OC(look at the OC subreddit for examples).
