FOSS lives on trust. No, FOSS lives on its contributors, not random trolls who do nothing but bitch around (even worse, considering that GNOME 3.x forces nobody to use GNOME Shell as it ships with a GTK3 port of the classic GNOME 2.x desktop/panel)
Well he is right. No, he's not. Dot-0 releases in community FOSS projects are usually not for end users. Everyone with some slight insight (=the typical Factory tester) knows that. Heck, that's exactly why openSUSE no longer releases dot-0 versions of its distribution.
I do not think this claim is correct. If I remember correctly from the thread when we discussed the numbering of openSUSE releases, the drop of dot-0 had nothing to do with "dot-0 is perceived to be unstable". Numbering was chosen such that dot-1 is always in November.
