Also there seems to be some central drawing and data loss issues.

As said I have little time to do deep investigations, but:
- I see the bug reports and see little progress in reduction
- Whenever I start JOSM myself I detect serious issues still existing or
   new
- We have really lots of open core bugs
- Discussions show me there are still issues which should be fixed before
   doing fancy new stuff
- Plugin handling still does not work as reliable as it did before (does
   e.g. not load plugins from system files - see bugreport recently created).
   This is a very central component and must work reliable.

So my feeling is: JOSM is not stable enough. If you and other more active 
users reach a consensus that my feeling is false, then I will accept that 
and we can move on.
