http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=998663 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=998663#c1 --- Comment #1 from Andrew Wafaa --- I have serious reservations of deviating from SLE parity. It wold be good to know how many systems have been shipped with 42.1 as OD1000 systems have not shipped yet. Providing we can provide clear documentation on upgrading (effectively a re-install) I see no problem in inflicting the inconvenience. One of the big advantages of Leap is the upsell opportunities it provides for SLE. From a technical perspective 4K is a better choice and we just need to accept the original mistake. I'll discuss further with Jeff and Alex. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=998663 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=998663#c4 --- Comment #4 from Takashi Iwai --- One significant problem in the scenario to switch from 64k to 4k after the release is that it shall break kABI. It means the KMPs that have been built with 42.2 GA kernel wouldn't work any longer after switching to 4k. So, if we want to keep KMP compatibility, the switch after the release won't work well, unfortunately. Of course, we may enforce all KMPs to be rebuilt after the switch happens. But we have no control over 3rd party stuff, so we can't guarantee it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes, there was a mistake with 42.1 on aarch64.

No, it's not "a mistake with 42.1". We have the same 64K setting in Tumbleweed, it was fully deliberate at the time and aligned with ppc64le. Tumbleweed will likely continue to have 64K as long as the btrfs patches are not mainline. So 4K also breaks "downgrading" from Tumbleweed to Leap 42.2. And that path is relevant as long as Tumbleweed keeps having publishing problems due to openQA, see the recent question from MPSA on the opensuse-arm mailing list (which was about Gigabyte, not SoftIron hardware - there's more than one). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
