Hmm, that is a nice idea.  But in practice I know plenty of *production* 
machines run Fedora and OpenSUSE, usually beyond their support cycle.  Under 
heavy production loads the hardware gets updated so often it doesn't seem to 
really matter.

As I said, it's a nice idea :)  Anyone who wanted to do that could just host a 
repo and backport packages to the last couple of revs of OpenSUSE.  That would 
accomplish the same thing.  Maybe Novell would host the backport repo, making 
it official?

The discussion seemed to be ended but the maintance release (!) of a
LTS'ed Linux (http://www.ubuntu.com/news/lts-6.06.2) reminds me of
this thread. I read that many responses to this release that I think
the number of users must be extremly high. Most pointed out that they
are not interested in cutting edge software but in stability. Don't
you think a long time support release of opensuse will bring (more)
people (back) to this great distribution?!
