Wouldn't it be a good idea to keep openSUSE on the headlines by creating respins, official updated Live CD's (additionally KDE 4.2 CD's, so trendy nowadays). Otherwise short after a release it's quiet until we get a new milestone what took 4 months :)

It would be good for openSUSE and users, to have released version respin every 4 months (half release time) with all updates to that moment.
We'll get headlines twice as often, users streamlined installation, both will use lesser bandwidth for download of updates, so leftovers can be used for more important things, like watching YouTube tutorials.
Well honestly, if someone let's say wants to try out openSUSE while having a hardware that was causing problems at the beginning of the release version and which was fixed later then it's not a bad idea at all or is it?? Novell/openSUSE has such great tools like kiwi, OBS so why couldn't we do such things? Even if there would be any problems with the new respins then surely there would be no more than at the beginning of 11.1. Does openSUSE has any policy as to what/when to update/reissue?? I'm pretty serious about that. A news about Milestones won't really interest most people but the geeks that want to live on the bleeding edge. So we should really consider changing the policy, this could be discussed on the openSUSE Community Week right??
