Hi :) That is not the problem. Of course nothing is 100% perfect and a lot of the work that people do is to make things better.
We currently have 1 release that does seem to be excellent and very stable, the 3.4.6. The 3.5.x is not as stable as the 3.4.6 (from what we see on the User List) but does have an advantage in having significantly more functionality, a better look, more features and is generally just a lot sexier. Each new branch seems to introduce a ton of new features and additional functionality. This sometimes seems to add regressions or creates problems that were not there in previous releases. As the branch matures the instabilities settle down. In sales&marketing it would seem obvious that it is better to sell a product based on it's advantages NOT on wishful thinking.

Re: [tdf-announce] The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice 3.5.3 To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, 2 May, 2012, 12:47 Tom, When we release versions it means that we're trying to improve the software anyway. But because it is software, please understand that there will always be bugs. Even if we release a 3.5.19, it will still be buggy. That's the nature of software. So if by any chance you have the impression that developers do not care about bugs or that we will reach one day a point where we release something without bugs, you are quite misguided. This being said, if you have bugs, or know people who have specific bugs I encourage you and them to file bug reports, as that is something helpful.
