why he stated that there was no publicly available development version
of openSUSE available.

It's true that it is not that easy to find: When I went to opensuse.org,
download, then the link "latest development version" points to 10.3RC1

A prominent link to factory might help to prevent this from happening
too often? Maybe there are some other places where links to factory
might be added (but I think it is properly referenced at the main
wiki page).

Ciao

PS: The article on lwn.net will become available in a week for
non-subscribers (The Grumpy Editor's guide to (some) development
distributions). Apart from that goof, the article was a nice read.

PPS: Googling for: opensuse development version
showed the (good) development version page and the ("bad") download
page as its first two hits in that order

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
