From a users perspective, there is nothing more annoying than regressions surely. You salivate about the new features available in the new release but you are stuck in time warp because nobody has the time to fix a regression. We lived with 2.1.3 for seemed like forever till the SLD regression was fixed and are now stuck by another regression. (GEOS-5738)
With limited volunteer effort and the fact that new features are more exciting than fixing other people bugs, it is easy to understand but that doesnt relieve user frustration. Furthermore, its easier to scrape together budget for a new feature than to convince powers to pay for a fix. Would blocking a new major release till regressions are cleared help in focussing volunteer effort? Notice: This email and any attachments are confidential.
