May be the requester truly wants rolling release, like Tumbleweed or using Debian style distro upgrade with zypper dup? I am against LTS, because IMO resources are better used improving quality of experience in new releases, rather than competing with commercial distro's who have greater revenue stream to provide such labour. + #3: Gavin Rozzi (grozzi) (2011-07-14 04:11:03) (reply to #2) + I agree with Robert, resources should instead be dedicated to the + current and next version, and not waste time and resources supporting + legacy versions, which would be better spent making the current version + stable and the next version better.
