And breaking other's repos is any better?
Where did I say that? I still think that given the BS turnaround times it would be better to have a testbed repo where things can be dropped in to be tested.
I fully agree with you that such changes should be well tested before being allowed into an official repo.

I haven't followed the full issue here, but I hope / assume that there will be a Tumbleweed testing repo before this is process is fully baked. Packages get submitted there first. If they work well for a week or two, then they go to the real tumbleweed repo. Conceivably Factory could serve that purpose, but often factory has already progressed past what is being considered for tumbleweed. (ie. The tumbleweed kernel is currently 2.6.36, but factory is 2.6.37-rc, so in the long run, 2.6.36 should be tested in tumbleweed-testing for a while before being pushed to tumbleweed. I assume the same will true for X, KDE, Gnome, etc. They will need a way to do integration testing with tumbleweed before tumbleweed gets upgraded. fyi: If all this works out, it seems tumbleweed would be source of 1full distro releases (starting with 11.5) and thus release freezes, etc. could happen there. Then factory could have a lot of the freezes, etc. removed. I think that too would make a lot of developers happy.
