I would prefer the former - and I strongly hope that the views presented by Richard Brown in this discussion are only his personal and do not represent the official position of openSUSE project.
The views I am presenting are nothing more then the concise repetition of the currently stated decisions by the established contributors to the Evergreen project ... Don't shoot the messenger, and as you clearly didn't know about this situation
The quotes you presented only confirm that what you wrote is your personal interpretation and the actual situation is different. The future of Evergreen 13.1 after November 2016 is still open and depends on contributors joining the effort. Statements like "There will be no Evergreen 13.1 after November 2016." from someone in your position can be extremely harmful. I understand that you would prefer everyone moving to Tumbleweed or at least (latest) Leap - but you should restrain yourself from abusing your role to actively discourage people from participating in projects just because they are incompatible with your personal views and wishes. With power, responsibility comes - and Board chairman should be responsible enough to restrain oneself from this kind of manipulation.
maybe your energies would be better spent in a direction other than criticising me for doing my job? :)
As long as I'm concerned about _how_ you are doing your job, I'm going to criticize it. And given the way you are communicating recently, I'm concerned a lot. So I'm going to criticize you, learn to live with it. Or, better, try to learn from the feedback you get.
