I've run across a number of people using R4 and service providers
who are using R4 for their customer's deployments. In addition,
Opentaps is based on R4. So, there is a sizeable R4 community out
there, even if they aren't vocal on the mailing lists and such.
Looking at Opentaps backpatches.txt it seems that Opentaps is not
using R4 as is but picks patches not necessarily coming from R4
(but I'm not sure how to understand this file).
For instance I did not backport 690644 (automatic merging issue,
done by hand tosay in r714229) but in Opentaps they did. Maybe there
are more, I wil have a look (just found 618970 also). It's a pity
they did not said that to us (ok it's also our fault not their).
OFBiz in general, and release branches as well, are maintained by the
people who use them.
It's a shame that opentaps has chosen to use the release4 branch but
not help maintain for the benefit of others. I guess that would
conflict with their intent to get people to use opentaps _instead of_
OFBiz.
