You got me there Adam.
and I am not saying we test or run upgrade at each update of 10.4.
based on efforts so far I don't expect the effort I outlined to be done
by the volunteers, though they are the best qualified to do this.
as you see I do take my support of ofbiz seriously.
and when you multiply this more than 50 times it turns out to be more
than a man year to release what I consider stable systems.

9)clean the postresql and turn back on add tables.
10)run migration of production data to changed db for 10.4
first time workeffort was a few manweeks.
each subsequence update of the 10.4 does not exceed a manweek.
Interesting. Yes, I agree, a defined release branch in ofbiz(10.4 in
this case) should have such upgrade support from one minor point release
to another.
However, there actually hasn't been a real release of that branch, so, ...
