I'm agree with Eberhard, cost of migration it's the most expensive part of
total cost. And our customers don't like it. Then like new features of
OpenERP but they don't want to pay for migration too much. So they just
still use old versions and I guess it's not good for OpenERP S.A. too.

my 2 cents.
