Um, sorry, I forgot what those two specific suggestions were, care to
refresh my memory, this has been a long email thread :)

Note, I could create openSUSE:Tumbleweed:11.4 right now, and repopulate
it with the 11.4 packages I previously had, and then just leave it
alone, would that be acceptable?

Moving forward, I don't have anytime to maintain the 11.4 repo, and
don't want to mess up my scripts to have to handle multiple lists of
packages and repos any more than I currently have, although in thinking
about it, it wouldn't be all that hard, but I would not be doing _ANY_
QA or testing or support for it, it really would just be a frozen
snapshot.

Someone to maintain it, keep it up to date, test it, fix problems when
they come up, and answer emails and forum posts from users who are
having issues.

If someone wants to do that, I'll gladly assign them to the 11.4 repo
and they can go to town.

It's not trivial, but it's not a full-time job either.

thanks,
