People who want bleeding edge can use Factory, because Beta is replaced with a new version after 1-2 weeks. So your Beta installation is not really bleeding edge. It is on averagae already a week old. Hardly bleeding edge. ;-)
Hear hear.
As I said there are more details on what I propose in my blog, but for those who don't want to search through it, see:

(See also Pascal's comments at http://dev-loki.blogspot.com/2005/09/more-thoughts-on-debian-like-package.ht... )
Note that my comments on this are more in the context of 3rd party package repositories (or whatever
the build service will become in terms of repository hosting), not for the "core" distribution (i.e.
SUSE Linux)
Unfortunately that topic has been drowned during the SUSE 10.0 release preparations and has never
been picked up until now, always being "blocked" by the Build Service.
Actually the Build Service would give a different approach, as we won't be thinking in terms of
distribution trees any more (I guess). Rather, one could pick a branch of every single project
that's being managed by the Build Service.
Nevertheless, I think we could still end up with stable/unstable/experimental as branches of Build
Service projects, for the sake of usability for end-users. Would at least be an idea to explore.
cheers
