Hi :) +1 I've not had any bad experiences myself, so far, and not heard as many grumbles as we normally get here when a x.x.0 comes out. Apparently AskLO has had a bit more than us but not as much as they were expecting either. However i almost never use Impress anyway and haven't tried the 4.0.0 one at all.
The week of QA and bug-fixing a few weeks before release of the new branch was a smart idea! I really liked that and think it might be good as a regular event before a new branch comes out. Doing it before every sub-point release might scare people off and is not so important. Perhaps before the x.x.3 or 4 to catch the branch halfway through? More people routinely using the beta-test versions would be good and i think we can promote doing that a bit more on this list now that this is becoming more of an "advanced users" mailing list with real noobs being more attracted to AskLO and the proper forums. I might move over there myself in the next few weeks.
