From everything that has been published, 13.3 will be available in 8 months. In fact, Factory has been being updated even while 13.2 was locked againts new features.
E.g. at the openSUSE Conference, the idea was brought forward to move to a 12 month release cycle - while staying with a lifetime of 2 releases + months. Meaning the stable openSUSE releases would be supported for 26 months.
With Factory/Tumbleweed being a usable, bleeding edge, rolling release distro. Maybe it's not necessary to have releases every 8 months.
This could be a killer combination.
Meaning openSUSE could accomplish the (nearly) impossible, and could keep the "bleeding edge crowd" and the "stability and long-term support crowd" fairly happy at the same time - while everybody contributing to the same project in a symbiotic way, instead of different groups pulling in opposite directions like before.
