Hi
Still has a purpose, many users (me also) are using Still.last. So we need 6.4 to be on the webpage, until we get 7.0.last.
This proposal not only missed the point and failed to consider diverse needs of others, but it's over zealous in a detrimental way.
I'm reading about rolling release idea, and I find it awful. It just popped up, not sure why. Yes, it's more simple to publish, but it would ruin LO usability.
LO is regression plagued product.
Some serious regressions may take months to be resolved, if ever. So with Still we still have a half-decent suite (other half are all those unresolved regressions).
To me, who's in QA and following thousands of bugs, this looks like making new problems, because the most important ones (regressions and 10 years old bugs) are harder to deal with.
If it's working, don't change that, rather fix what's not working.

Timur
