Hi devs,

We have already started defining the roadmap for XS 10.2, see 
https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Roadmaps/#HXWiki11.2

However, it’s come to my realization that we’re having a lot of stability issue 
on XS these days. I see plenty of users messages on the forum about users 
failing to use XWiki or to upgrade XWiki and having problems in general. I have 
the feeling that our quality has regressed.

If we check our number of bugs created vs number of bugs closed for 2018, we 
can clearly see that we’re loosing the battle since Feb/March 2018, see:
https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10352#Created-vs-Resolved-Chart/16742

Since Feb/March we’re at 820 vs 963 which means we have a relative difference 
of 143 bugs. Note that the BFD sessions are not enough and they don’t close a 
lot of bugs anymore (this can be seen on 
https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/XWiki%20Days).

I believe that XWiki’s stability and reducing user frustration for 
installation/upgrades is a key aspect and it’s one of the biggest possible 
contributor to Active Installs.

Thus I’m proposing to devote 2 releases (i.e. 2 months) to focus on bug fixing 
and thus on XWiki stability, namely
* XS 10.2
* XS 10.3

Note that this is something that I’ve already discussed with committers from 
XWiki SAS. Please voice your opinion if you disagree (or even if you agree, 
always good to get confirmation we’re going in the right direction ;)).

Thanks
-Vincent
