My experience: it is less work to keep a constantly updated Factory system running fine without major problems, than to update from $RELEASE-1 to $RELEASE 1.5 times per year and then fixing all the breakage that comes in one big hunk.
Where Tumbleweed would fit, just below factory but still w/o the $RELEASE *jumps*, and better fitting for one wanting a more ?stable? environment.

Patrick, As I understand the current delay in 13.2, the time is being used to enhance the testing/integration process such that factory itself will no longer get major partial updates that break it for weeks at a time. Thus with the new rings of integration process that is well on its way to being developed/rolled out, factory will have effectively have become a true rolling release with leading edge software that went through full compilation testing in the last ring before factory and also was subjected to a full openqa set of tests in the final ring before factory. At that point (still a few months away I think), the question in my mind will be why we still need tumbleweed? I seriously doubt tumbleweed will be dropped before 13.2, but will it survive past the release of 13.2?
