Not sure I understand that. 90%+ of the changes we do are in the DVD5-aarch64.group file, which is by definition conflict free to the base. I don't see a _servicedata file that would e.g. constantly conflict.
I would actually welcome the change that the tumblweed team would maintain the DVD5-aarch64.group file in the base product, so far that wasn't wanted but since this is mostly mechanical I think it might help us in reducing the workload.
That's not entirely accurate - the major problem we have is that the ports have decoupled build times and anytime we update the .group file, we risk a rebuild in openSUSE:Factory, potentially delaying a release of x86/x64 even further, even though it 'should' not impact those archs (but that would be source changes, service rerun, and generally rebuild) Imho, the .group files are 'ok' to be placed directly in :ARM/:PowerPC/:FOO - as you already state, they do not conflict (they do not exist in openSUSE:Factory) what we SHOULD reduce though is the need to modify the .product files to get the right things done in the various projects - THAT is where the conflicts happen every now and then.
