We shouldn't turn away complex contributions anymore.

"We" do not now, nor have we ever, turned away a contribution because it was complex.

I myself have loads of enhancements (mostly to widget module) that I feel uneasy about releasing to the community, simply because of this odd use of trunk: it's used like a slow-moving release branch that is unable to handle introductions of radical enhancements.

Yet, this somewhat slow-moving trunk isn't still enough and focused enough on achieving release-quality stability. It's the worst of both worlds: it's not rapid enough to allow for radical progress, and not calm and focused-on-cleaning-up enough to produce a stable release for non-OFBiz developers.

Could you do us all a big favor Jonathon? Your comments seem to be fairly consistent along these lines. I think what would be helpful to you, and to anyone reading and agreeing with your comments, is to step back and try to explain why things are the way they are. Feel free to share that with the group for a sanity check if you'd like.
