However, I have an idea how to solve this in a different way in future:
* Implement a "remove repository from project" request type.
* Add an option to auto-accept after X time, if the request got not declined. (Such a request can only be created when the submitter has write access in target, but the admin has always ;)
=> That means we would not need to move the projects around anymore, so nothing breaks during that. Also more people get trained in re-acting on requests to them.
What do you think about that approach?
That would be a definite improvement. Regarding this overall question, I encourage everyone to read the comments on the "We need new ideas" posting [1] ... you will see an overwhelming number of them are asking for longer support lifetimes for releases. I think this is good evidence that there are many openSUSE users who run and maintain systems for many years -- not surprising thanks to openSUSE's solidity, maintainability, and reliability! I don't know what the perfect trade-off is between resource constraints, maintainer time, etc. vs. longer release lifetimes. However there seems to be room (and demand) for a better one. -Archie [1] http://news.opensuse.org/2012/06/14/where-is-my-12-2-my-kingdom-for-a-12-2/ -- Archie L.
