I think if we created a stable community branch we could:
- Get the same fixes tiny is currently doing (those 10 commits a day).
- Because of the "two-step" commits we would revise, discuss and maybe detect 
some of the regressions that are getting in. (The rounding stuff is not a 
matter of a regression introduced by a programming error. Either OpenERP can't 
handle some cases the patch is trying to solve or somebody with commit 
permissions does not know how that works!)
- I think most or all patches should have to be discussed in the list. I know 
it's a lot of work, but it could possibly be worth.
- It opens the door to those that don't want to/can't have their own branch 
(like ourselves) to share resources.
- It may reduce the number of resources that those that do have their own 
branch need to keep it up to date.
- If we do the work well, tiny can pretty much relay, review and merge patches 
from a single branch (not 10s).
- They won't receive so much pressure because we currently have our own 
branch. Tiny can release at their own pace.

We all have our own points of view, but there are lots of open source 
communities out there doing it. We won't always agree but I think we can try 
it. If meanwhile Tiny solves it's issues and can work as they intend, that's 
just perfect. If they don't succeed, we won't have lost two months more 
waiting for them to put a solution on this. I don't think we can put all the 
responsability to them.

Of course, there's nothing that ensures this will work. But note that current 
approach doesn't work either.

BTW, about the marketing stuff, I don't think having a strong community can be 
bad in any sense. If this approach works it will result in better code and 
functionality which is the best marketing there is...

Just my 2 cents..
