BJ has mentioned a few outstanding issues that could make the binary release look incomplete.Frankly, OFBiz 4.0 is far from complete, but not because it doesn't have anything more than half-baked features. It's because it has so many new features slapped on that are not fully implemented yet. OFBiz 4.0 has enough core features to be a fully functional release.While it is true that it would be good to remove those half-baked features (red herrings), it would take way too much time. Also, the effort would be destructive, not constructive. Would rather evolve OFBiz 4.0 into the 4.x family to complete those half-baked features over time.Also true that OFBiz 4.0, with its numerous new features that are half-baked, could make it look bad. If we already had *one* binary release, we could still use that binary release to continue collecting bug reports for the next release. But as it is now, we don't have a single binary release for OFBiz 4.0. With a binary release, chances are we will have more testers.
Being more specific is far more helpful, BTW, than generalities. My thoughts on these though are:1. I disagree, I think the assertion about half-baked is false; the feature set is what it is
2. I agree the idea of half baked features is a red-herring, and should be ignored ;) , in other words not necessarily key to the stability of the release
