Hi :) I think that the definitive rulings made by BoD members in that thread suggest that LO is not ready for corporate uptake yet.
LO's definition of stable seems to be about the opposite of most people's definition. LO appears to think something is stable when something is so new that no-one has yet found the problems that we know we can expect when a ton of exciting new features have been added. By not releasing so often AOO seems less likely to add regressions and new problems. Unfortunately they will still be stuck with old problems that LO has already solved but at least most of those are known issues. At least AOO has not ruled-out the types of things that corporate organisations are likely to want in the way that LO has.

Strange perception. ;-) I agree that we can improve things on our side, we always can do that, but claiming LibreOffice is not suitable for corporations is simply painfully wrong.
