Fair enough, but the number 13, that we have currently is equally arbitrary and meaningless. As stated elsewhere, and I paraphrase, version numbers are meaningless but necessary.
As long as whatever number or letter system is supported by a vote, I'll be happy. This is very different from saying that this or the other system is better.
If "those who make it, decide", then I'm also a small contributor. I make a small part of it. Quite small. Where do we draw the line on who decides?
Yes, especially for the distribution the "those who do decide" paradigm has many corner cases. In the end everyone who maintains a package that is in factory contributes to the distribution. Only few contribute to the actual release work. Of course if snapshot based releases as "regular" releases get dropped, because those that do the actual release work want to release from another stream, that's fair enough. If the "regular" releases will be based on SLE sources and to get anything into this new release one has to submit additional requests, then the circle of "those who do" changes.
There are other contributors that don't package or develop.
Correct and those contributions matter as much as packaging and development.
Me, for instance, I translate. And I have no idea what basing on SLES will suppose for us.
Well translating release notes for something that is called 13.3 or 42.1 should be about the same, taking the release notes as an example. Longer term the translation would potentially be more cyclic w.r.t. to the amount of translation needed. In a SLE-source based release idea there would be fewer changes between lets say 42.1, 42.2 than there will be 42.2 and 43.1 as within the 42 series changes to the "core" are expected to be very small while the transition to 43 would bring an "everything is new" distribution. Currently we get a ""everything is new" distribution with every "regular" release.
