Yes you where rude, me too! just understand your vision and mine are so
likely then when I complain is because i need the best for the project and
OpenERP and we as company. don't worry about it.

Ok, this is what I think we need to plan this migration to work for the
future, can you point me with who I need to talk.

Even, my initial point was that I think the end of the road will be
audittrails like features (even with a new module re-using
base_action_rule) this is my point.

We administer several databases, and honestly our live without audittrail
will be too difficult.

Even, I was specting that you improve with more features audittrail in the
re-write process like audit fields, access rules failures and so on.... but
honestly I was really bad surprised with the total removal.

And you can sum several open bugs over it.

Honestly, I don't know if you did it intentional, but who kill Audittrail
was your self not the technical problems, with a low encourga to solve bugs
and no answer on it people stop use it.

Yes I understand your point (but I can not be agreed) you have a paid
service, and it is mandatory IMHO have a plan of migration feature per
feature inmediatly a customer ask for it.

You can not defend the "leak" of feature as little important directly
without try to offer solutions on your side.

I mean, taking this case as an example, you leak of 5 or 6 features to
complay with everything, why not just do it instead discredit our PoV as
"Community" and as "Customers" (at least it was my feeling).

The result of the survey here:

On this point i REALLY ask you announce the branch to test new features.

Our localizations has a lot of little features that are even included in a
generic way we can explain that features.
