OK forget zypper and openSUSE:Tools for the moment...
What I'm simply trying to say is: just because 11.3 is itself EOL, that doesn't mean OBS projects should start dropping the 11.3 repo right away.
The maintainers can build against DISCONTINUED:openSUSE:11.3 instead. If they don't we free the resources (storage for mirrors, on our servers and build power). So they can be used for more constructive work than just old build jobs no maintainer cares about anymore. bye adrian
Do others not agree?

I noticed that openSUSE:Tools has dropped its 11.3 repo already.
I understand 11.3 is EOL'd, but it seems like Tools repo should be special, as it contains zypper -- the tool that lets you upgrade.
No, it was never part of that repo.
I understand that EOL means no longer "community supported" - that's fine.. but it seems to me that "community supported" is a completely different concept than "exists as a repo in a project".
After all, openSUSE:Tools has RHEL 4 and all these other non-SUSE repos... are those distributions "community supported" by the openSUSE project??
So I don't understand the rush to remove the repo.
Needless to say, I still have stable 11.3 systems around that I'm not ready to upgrade just yet...
