Contributors who mainly use and deploy releases and are not be served very well by the outcome of the proposed model may well stop contributing to Factory too.
That could in theory happen.
In practise, you don't want to update your package only every 3 years IMHO [1], so I don't expect there will be many people who submit something only to the SLE-based releases, but not to factory.
It's the other way around. People will still submit to Factory, but may not submit to the openSUSE:42 project as this is no longer automagic when a new release is in the works.
Or do not contribute at all any more because neither Tumbleweed nor the openSUSE-SLE hybrid fits their use-cases any more (which was the point I was trying to make above).
+1. I'll not neither use «openSLE» nor fix runtime issues of my packages for both «openSLE» and openSUSE:Fatory.
An interesting statement since I don't see any real difference between "openSLE" and openSUSE releases as of today.
Well, the difference is that the openSUSE based on SLE model requires some extra effort and brings about some other complications, see Christian's comment regarding AppArmor, when compared to the current model. Current is simple, submit to Factory and the package will be in the next release. The "support" is relatively short and because the "regular" release doesn't get too old a version update in the "regular" release to fix a bug that is already fixed upstream is often possible, for a large part of the distribution. For :42 one has to create extra requests, one has to be prepared to support packages longer, and if newer versions of core packages are needed than those that come with "free maintenance" from SUSE one has to enter into negotiations with the maintainer of that package to override the package that comes from SLE. This of course creates extra work for the maintainer of the package one depends on. At this point a good number of contributors will probably ask themselves if it is worth the effort and additional time. Thus, the concern Guido expressed.
