Let me explain what I meant by 'professional product'. Product for
professionals implies the characteristics of professional product. Even
if it is an open source one and partially paid by donations. One of the
main characteristic is a clear path of upgrading to a new version.
Another is a proper 'Customer Relationship Management'.

BTW, ask Gemstone guys for help here, they are very good in migration
help to the new version and evolution to the new features. Not to
mention their amazing attitude to the customers.

To conclude, a bit better PR would make wonders here. Sometimes we need
just to listen to our users even that we don't agree with them. Again
one of the characteristics of professional product behavior, like it or
not.
