I don't think that the focus of the OFBiz community is to make OFBiz a
consulting revenue generator, nor I think that the absence of a stable
recent release is a consequence of this.
The awful truth, imo, is that maintaining a release is expensive (in
terms of man hours) and the time contributed by the users of OFBiz
(i.e. its community made of final users, consultants etc...) until now
has not been enough to have a good release plan.

I totally agree with Jacopo, BTW it's a well known fact in the OFBiz community
which has been repeated many times on this ML.
Though this is slowly improving...
