Just so.
It is very typical to not upgrade to every version. It was always a supported scenario, to upgrade from any of the currently supported versions to any of the currently supported versions.
Never it was. And I'm using SUSE since quite some time. Thanks Eberhard btw again for the first floppy disks and later CDs. ;)
Me too.
Talk to people knowing what they talk about and stop fud'ing, please.
FUD? That's your opinion. Mine is different.
Now, suddenly, this SuSE tradition is dropped.
Dude, openSUSE is a community project. Show your commitment to test all these upgrade pathes and we're all happy to review your wiki document.
It is a business with a comunity project. And I contribute, you "dude". If it were really a community project decissions would be voted.
Even a report, that it worked for you to move your 11.1 to 11.3 is a contribution.
Which I do. Search, you will find it. I even have a VM on which I have tested several upgrade problems, then reverted the upgrade (snapshot).
Look, moving from i586 to x86_64 worked for me on several systems very well. Nevertheless I'm quite sure we must not ever support this.
And that is also a mistake, IMO.
We drop features.
Sorry, please give me an example what you have decided to drop.
Dozens. Let me see... Lilo? Not me, of course. I "voted" against, as far as non staff comunity contributor word is taken into account. Ie, not at all.
We drop supported lifetime.
I asked myself why we're not having some kind of Long Time Pain Program for _some_ openSUSE releases? And there was a recent blog from Wolfgang about this at http://www.rosenauer.org/blog/2010/11/30/community-powered-long-term-support...
I know about that.
We drop supported scenarios.
No. This is FUD.
No, it is the truth.
Dunno, perhaps SUSE is dropping staff and the only solution is less support. Not enough money for everything.
No. FUD too. SUSE is staffing. Check the HR page if you're looking for a new opportunity.
Then your productivity is dropping. Or you add features on one side and remove on another, to compensate. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
