as long we do not take precautions it will not be possible to reliable filter products with
* qty_available "equal to 0"
* qty_available "not equal to 0"
due to rounding errors.

for example
in one company reaching qty_available = 0 triggers to count the physical inventory.

2)
for incoming products many companies will use average price.
But the current average price (which is or at least was stored in product_product) can't be taken to evaluated evaluate past (years end) qty_available - after awhile this will never match accounting figures.

I just strongly oppose to set up the base system in a way that we have to add "nice" modules to make it work properly.

may be this issue should be discussed in the expert list.
