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
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
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
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
