It is not a big surprise that 3.5MAB has already 3.4MAB bugs imported. Now, most of them will become 3.6MAB, which is ridiculous. Personally I would declare bankruptcy of this system. It is a road to nowhere. I'd propose Nominate bug system. As branch will have 6 maintenance releases maybe a bug should have Target version field, where QA would like to see a fix. I know that LO development is Take your bug>Fix it>Commit system, but Nominate>Take>Fix>Commit attitude would be a gain. What good are new features, where people are stuck with 3.4.x version because of regressions introduced in constant rewrite of filters without proper testing? Already there are discussions about LO 4.0 with incompatible changes. With all due respect this is insane. I would like to see 3.8 crashkill and 3.9 regressionkill versions before rewriting code in 4.0 (with strict unit tests and regression testing policies). I know that developers do not like to fix bugs (booooring), but QA should encourage to fix old problems, even at the cost of new features (new features are cool!!!).

Interesting read is an article about LO adoption in France (https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/elibrary/case/mimo-working-group-french-ministries-certify-libreoffice-release-0) where MIMO group recommends LibreOffice in 3.3.4 version until September 2012! I am curious which version will be recommended afterwards. They are two branches behind already. Maybe their testing procedures would be good test plans for LO testing in general? Does TDF cooperates with them about it? Their deployment is mentioned in every marketing note recently...
