Sorry but why re-name anything? What on earth is wrong with what we have currently - openSUSE $VERSION & openSUSE Tumbleweed?
The nature of the distribution has changed. openSUSE always was something like "latest stable". With Tumbleweed we have some "very latest" now. The new openSUSE based on SLE sources is more like "stablest". To reflect this in the name will help us to communicate that we are doing something new (and hopefully better). There is this quote which applies here: "I don't know if it will become better when I change it, but I do know that it won't become better, if I don't change it" ;-) In some way we are doing Rock & Roll here. Tumbleweed is "openSUSE Roll", the rolling release. The new openSUSE based on SLE sources is "openSUSE Rock", the rock-solid release. -- Cornelius Schumacher <cschum@suse.de> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
