vb.org can already extend vb3 in anyway you like, and there's tons of themes available all the same.
vb4 should be fine if you don't upgrade everytime or as soon a new version appears. A familiar forum system for (our) users is after all the aim of having stuck out with it (even before IB/vb4), its not like users of our forums really care or have any interests in the stenuous parts of managing forums.
Common sense, perhaps not often enough reminded of: plan and test deployments, blame yourself for failure to do so. While updates could be somewhat stenuous (especially from v3 to v4), there's hardly sense in updating asap everytime. Bigboards certainly dont. Perhaps there's wisdom in that.
People that stuck with v3 have been clamoring and begging left and right for critical/security updates to v3. I dont see conservatism in updates being a bad thing. You definitely wouldnt have wanted 3.8.7 to be a major mess or unstable, especially for a now old version being laid to rest.

All for extending the life and development of the 3.x series.
