As a customer I can confirm this. I have seen several situations in the 
past where OpenERP decides overnight to make radical changes. I 
regularly become uneasy becasue I don't know what I can depend on.

And that's not only for code stability. Pricing has seen the same 
unexpected variations during the years. In the three years I'm following 
OpenERP I have already seen 3 different pricing models. The most recent 
change may be in my advantage (I am not even sure yet) but who knows 
what I will find within a year ?

Perhaps change is exiting for OpenERP employees but as I customer I 
value continuity and stability even more. The thing just has to work and 
work well. All else is just hype.
