Back in the old times some people inside SUSE thought of following the Debian testing way. The road block then was the inability to track bugs filed against a package. To recap how Debian testing works - a package update gets pushed to "unstable", then, if no bugs against it appear for $X time, it gets automatically pushed to "testing" (if all dependencies it has at this point can be satisfied there - mind that Debian has a lot more versioned dependencies). We still don't have a "package" field in bugzilla, so copying this scheme 1:1 doesn't work.
You of all should know best that a bug free gcc version is *not* ready to be integrated into Factory, so I don't see this as a good approach.
But we don't have to re-invent the wheel, no?
The closest thing to Debian testing we have is openSUSE Tumbleweed though it's a very manual process there.
But isn't the proposal to have a Tumbleweed for Factory?
You either misunderstand what Tumbleweed does or Factory's role in general. Tumbleweed is an addon repo for a stable release that has several uptodate components that are updated frequently while Factory is a rolling distribution integrating new technology all the time. So a "Tumbleweed for Factory" does not make sense in my world.
