I will quote Germán (I hope he will not mind): "lot and lot of things... Lot of new things each day. Not time to stabilize nothing.
Stabilize what? What changed so that german cannot work? In 1.4? Come on.
Is needed such acceleration? ... My point is, I'm trying to move a business with Smalltalk and the acceleration of Pharo is well know by me (from other companies) and sooner or later, impact in my job and I'm a very LITTLE software house can't migrate my products all the time."
Then why do you have to migrate? Why not milestoning. I do not migrate all my applications everyday.
We simply have to accept that some developers can have this feelings and try to find a way how to limit it.
May be we should do a break and do nothing?
I think that some official Pharo blog (maybe written by Esteban) would be very helpful. Some kind of not very extensive technical information source that will help people to stay in touch with Pharo progress.
Ok we will do a private mailing-list.
That will explain what is being changed in Pharo and why. I think that developers than will see the changes like positive not as alien ones.
Why people do not register to pharo-users?

I do not think that the way out from this is to slow down. On the contrary. We simply have to do this era of a lot of big changes as short as possible ;-)
