Yes it did. It wasn't as fuss-free as people seem to remember it, though. If you were using any extra (non-curated) repositories on top of the base system you had to pretty carefully look at what zypper told you it was going to do.
I'm probably one of the least technical people on this list. However, following the advice from Richard Brown,as well as some suggestions from James Mason and others, my Tumbleweed system is working well. The key was what Achim wrote: "...pretty carefully look at what zypper told you it was going to do". zypper dup + ? + v was helpful to get more detail, especially about changing repositories zypper lr -P supported managing repository precedence yast > software management gave the ability to lock versions or avoid loading packages. It took some work and thought, but gave a good result. Carl
I somehow share that feeling, given the Greg-TW seemed hand-picked, and included reverts. The current TW on the other hand seems just like Factory with a bit of OpenQA thrown in, and you won't see any reverts in the automated Nussel mails.
When the change was announced I've weighed my options and decided to stick with Tumbleweed. It may be that some other users didn't quite get what the change would look like and have second guesses about that now. So far I believe that staying with Tumbleweed is working OK for me, YMMV.
Regards, Achim.
