If it were up to me I'd simply postpone release of 11.0 for 3-4 months so we could not only have 4.1.0, but maybe 4.1.2 - and drop KDE3 as a desktop. Of course some KDE3 apps would most likely still be needed.
Experience tells it hardly pays off to do some delay like this: First of all, how about those openSUSE users who use different desktops such as GNOME? Second, even such a slip won't provide a guarantee that the code you're waiting for will be there in time (though it gets more likely the more you slip). Thirdly, we'd deprive our users of many other exciting development such as zyyyyyyyyypper, new OpenOffice, lots of support for new hardware, and so forth for quite longer a period when Federo and Ubunto, to name to, are on shorter cycles.
Personally I'm considering not moving to 11.0 on my main box until 4.1 is available in the BS.
Why couldn't you go to 11.0 but stick to KDE 3.x and move to 4.1 once available in the Build Service? (Which is just another concrete example of why the Build Service rocks, by the way! :-) Gerald -- Dr. Gerald Pfeifer E gp@novell.com SUSE Linux Products GmbH Director Inbound Product Mgmt T +49(911)74053-0 HRB 16746 (AG Nuremberg) openSUSE/SUSE Linux Enterprise F +49(911)74053-483 GF: Markus Rex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
