I just posted that long list to show that users do indeed get non working repos, contrary to what Andrew said.
I never said user's don't always get working repos, actually what I
mean by "breaking the package manager" is exactly that. The package
manager works perfectly fine until one day *poof* something is done on
the server and any action you try to take in your package manager
fails. IMO that's broken.

2. One month before the EOL add a small package which will force that any sessioned login on a console will print out: "This product life cycle finishes on $DATE. PLEASE UPGRADE!"
This mentality is why we have this issue to begin with. Just because there will be no future development work on a particular distribution doesn't mean there are users that still use it, are happy with it and have no compelling reason to upgrade. Now, I still see 11.1 repos on widehat.opensuse.org and download.opensuse.org so I don't understand what the issue is. If a 3rd party deleted their repo, that's beyond our control. -- Med Vennlig Hilsen, A.
