My two cents : when you change any code you have reduced the reliability of code that depends on that code. The More code that is changed, the less the reliability. Till rigorous testing of all code that depends on the code changed,, one can not say it is dependable. Though code is Frozen in releases as candidates, no one demonstrated this level of testing. With that said, what will Be, 11.04. has had not only code but structure changes, compared to 10.4.
It has been said that those that have an interest and are first to add code set the tone of what they put in, wheather any code review has been done. I can point out many instances where code does not follow good coding practices and/or follow the design of ofbiz. And yes I have attempted t point this out and it has fell on deaf ears. So yes those that want stability and dependability must take responsibility to do there own testing.
