"Dominique Leuenberger"
That's at least a decision the user can go for himself; a newer version does not always mean less problems. But if you want to be on the bleeding edge, Factory is the right one ;) but there you should be aware: you get all the nice and new naughty things: be prepared to not have the system usable once in a while.
I agree. For now I'll stick with 10.3 + some nice BS repos like xorg73
or KDE:Backports, as I believe it's some kind of middle between
"stable" and bleeding edge.
About main/standard/oss repo being poor - I mean, there are not many
packages. People I convinced to openSUSE look at me angrily when I say
"Well, you have to add this BS repo to install blah blah because it's
not included in main". Why is that?
Do packages from BS finally find their way into main distribution? Or
maybe only some of them? If yes, who decides which packages are more
important than the others? AFAIK, main repository is maintained only by
SUSE/Novell employees?
