I mean a stable release with security/important patch and no new features. when you introduce a webmail in a production environment where they train users for the webmail usage, it's hard to change things, that's why I'd like a supported for long time stable version.

so long as you dont drastically change the way end users use the software there is no reason to turn roundcube into another debian/fedora specific program. Or are you also not going to install any new plugins, after all, that's all they are - "new features"
Depriving users of new features will only see your customers find a provider that offers them
then kiss them goodbye
no problems your opposition will gladly accept them
there are enough customers (especially business customers and they are the ones who really pay money) which are thankful for stability instead braindead featuritis and permanently changing interfaces for the sake of the change
You seem to speak a lot of shit on many lists, but it seems today your brain is in your arse, if you took that attitude with me, I'd sack your arse. You've been brainwashed by likes of debian trolls for too long.
and this is the biggest weakness of opensource: change for the sake of the change because way too much developers prapre implent features instead OPTIMIZE code and make it perfect
In nearly twenty years at a couple of large ISP's, we've never had this amazing problem you seem to have, and we've had some pretty clueless end users over the years.
I trust you too do not use any plugins, afterall you wont your version of stability and not later features :)
the typical enduser has mostly no fun with this and even can not handle changing the label of a button from "save" to "upload images" where there is only one another button with "cancel" - that is the way "customers" work and understand changes
Never seen that or heard of it before, perhaps you should ask your employer to use something like squirrelmail which doesnt change.
