 Another suggestion:
 We should aim for smallest code base.
 The smaller the code is, the better chances an update won't break anything.
 This can be achieved by:
 a. removal of non used features
 b. making less used features available via extensions
 c. one UI element per task (avoiding duplicates in UI)
 d. rewriting certain modules more efficiently (i.e. performing the same
 task with 80 lines of code instead 100 lines of code)

  Hi,
 
  I would like to propose a new RC3 based on revision 1586584 of our
  AOO410 release branch.
 
  Integrated fixes for
  https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124617
  https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124639
 
  The fix for https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124636 is not
  integrated because it is not really critical and the fix is not yet well
  enough tested.
 
  It is potentially not understandable for people why we don't integrate
  all available fixes but our experience have shown that even minor and on
  the first look uncritical fixes can cause regressions. As acting release
  manager it is my goal to stabilize the release branch and bring the
  planned release out. I am sometimes to optimistic and over motivated and
  try to push a release. But this time it becomes again clear that our
  code base is tricky and complex and we need probably more time to
  stabilize and test it. We published a Beta with 20 downloads and
  received no critical feedback which was promising. But with the first RC
  we got several critical issues and partly on code that is in the product
  since last year. I am sure we can do better and the question after the
  release will be how we can improve this. Quality is important for us and
  I invite all to think about ways how we can improve this together.
