Easy for you to say since you're already not using openSUSE but rather Tumbleweed.
A 12 month schedule does not automatically make it more stable, unless maybe if you also increase the various freeze periods. But that'll just make developers/packagers and testers even less interested in testing/using factory than is already the case - and move even more activity away from factory to little toy OBS projects - and hence away from the distro that actually matters.
That's a true danger - but if you see Tumbleweed as part of the distro strategy, it can very well work out.
I personally think 8 months is the perfect balance. It's not clear to me what exactly has gone wrong with 12.2 anyway. In my brief tests 12.2beta seemed pretty good. Usually the beta is the worst milestone of them all, cuz it's just after feature freeze.
The biggest problem with 12.2 right now is that we can't slip a bit. Mid of july just does not allow slips ;( And that again is a problem of 8 months, there are just not 3 good times a year ;) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
