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.
