IOW, I think the discussion we're having at this stage is the wrong one.
I don't think so, we're discussing each and every time when to go to 12.0 and find no solution for it. Instead we make our distribution worth since we don't feel it's good enough to be a new major release.
But we do not have a major release like that anymore, all releases are equally major - or equally minor ;) - and therefore let's find an algorithmic way to define this. If you have another easy algorithm, I'd like to hear it even if voting has already started...
Arguably, I did say maybe it's a semantic difference. ;-)
If we look backwards, what distinguished 10.0 from 9.3? Or the last of the 8.x releases from 9.0?
I think 7 to 8 meant we stopped building for i486. I think that was also the change from kernel 2.4 to 2.6. We also added YaST2 (the GUI vs the curses interface) at some point, although I don't remember when. Somewhere between 8 and 10 we dropped the publishing of CD and went DVD-only. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
