And then we should think about how to have those packages tested properly in order to gain an acceptable level of quality in there when openSUSE distro releases happen (or, rather, when they're freezed). Following the alpha/beta/RC cycles of Factory and issue the same calls for testing could be an option.
I am for this option for this reason: After the first beta, Factory is not a moving target anymore (at least, it starts to slow down ;)), therefore it's a good idea to reduce the amount of changes to the Contrib repo a short while after that. Therefore, both Factory and Contrib will be testable by masses at about the time. The remaining question is how to test during the alpha phase of Factory, when many packages might not even compile due to the amount of changes in Factory. Build Factory:Contrib also against the latest release openSUSE? Leave it up to the individual package maintainers to build their packages in their small projects, like many Factory maintainers do already and wait with testing the whole Contrib repo after the first beta? Try both (building for the latest stable and encouraging maintainers to find additional testers via smaller projects)?
