of course not. Changes add with time, and pretty fast

nothing to do with what I said. I don't speak about support but about
creation of new dvds.

openSUSE can't have new dvd with updates because of the boxed set that
can't be changed. With no box you can include all the fixes at any
time. I speak of fixes for the current release, not of a new release.

If there where not box, we could have now a 11.1.2 dvd. No other
change needed. Exactly what you get with an install then 4/5 hours of
dl right now, mostly for people without dl capacity, and convenience.
