Does that cast another light on "Contrib-testing" in your eyes or are
you still opposed to it ?

But then you would need everyone to be able to write to that repo, that
sounds uglier than a wiki page to me.

But I understand your proposal now - and I think it's different to what
Richard proposed.

No, besides the name the proposals are the same. Contrib/unstable should
be a staging area. (Much like we have this extra patches repository
where patches are put early)

Is it possible to keep naming consistent with other names in opensuse.

Contrib :
Third party contributions, not part of official distro, but following distro
development and release cycle, so:

Contrib/11.0
Contrib/Factory

Testing area will be Contrib/Factory, and the rest frozen after the release.

Is there something that I miss in discussion? Do we look for the naming that
is closer to common language (testing vs. factory).
