Every November a stable release ... makes the naming a lot easier. ;-) But why not go the Gentoo route? *Every* package individually gets declared stable eventually - they don't release when the kernel, compilers and desktops all go stable. I think Tumbleweed needs to be separated into kernel and user sections. Unless I'm doing kernel-level work, I only want bug fixes / security updates in the kernel but I want the latest browsers, office tools, compilers, desktops, etc.
Hmm, now that you mention desktops... I recall that we've had a bit of difficulty putting out a stable GNOME 3.4 under the current 12.1. For backporting reasons I'm not entirely understanding, its advised to just wait for 12.2 to come out and get GNOME 3.4 then. (At least I was told that a month ago.) For some reason, I guess, 12.1 and 3.4 aren't liking each other very much. :-) I wonder what would happen if we turned to once-a-year releases if we are to rely on ourselves to get the latest/greatest via OBS.
