Thank you for the clarification. No problem! We want AOO to be as perfect as humanly possible.

It could easily exist if the developers wanted. We could be on a tentative release process.

I am aware of that ;) But on the other hand it prevents to detect regressions in the release version... There is no perfect plan :) > Since desktop integration works on Windows (and macOS?) it would be > better to fix it on Linux. I do not disagree. But given the very reduced number/time of developers I would be happier if they fixed problems such as the update bug in Linux https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127774 If they can fix both, better yet! > A Dev Build is for broader testing by a > bigger audience and I would like to do that more often. > 4.2.0 must be thoroughly tested (after all the time) and there are still > a lot of hurdles before we can release it. Again, I do not disagree. But having a bigger audience increases the volume of feedback and obviously it increases the expectations of people participating in the testing... Are there enough developers/developer-time to correspond to such expectations?
