Hi,
As mentioned in several situations, it's my declared goal to seperate Factory from openSUSE releases in people's mindset and run it as a rolling distribution with its own agenda.
So far Factory was meant purely as testbed for the next openSUSE release. But this has changed, and e.g. Factory releases DVDs whenever they are tested as good enough - see http://download.opensuse.org/factory/iso/
While openSUSE releases benefit from being "13.2", I feel we need something else than "13.2 Milestone 0" for Factory. But I miss a good idea what it can be - the "Snapshot20140605" the ISOs bear is unfortunately not good enough as this is tagged when the ISOs are ready - but the SuSE-release file is generated from things I need to copy.
Just a thought, and apologies if it is out of place, but it occurs to me that the whole X.x point release description of the Stable Release is confusing and unnecessary. Each new release is a whole new release in itself and not a maintenance update as might be expected by the point naming. I.e. Why call it 13.2, when it can just be an iterative number on the old, e.g. openSUSE 14. Bit like how Fedora and Mint do it. I don't intend to start a new debate on this topic, but i raise it because the current naming creates unnecessary expectations of release delivery timeframe, which is not congruent with the development reality.
