The main complaint about the current openSUSE releases from the "stability crowd", is the lifetime in my opinion, and that would largely adressed by going to a 12 month release cycle, equaling 26 month lifetime (2 releases+2 months).
In my opinion we are all making assumptions here without actually knowing what is required by the group of users (Future and Current), that is not attracted to the openSUSE Tumbleweed releases.
Well if you consider only users that are not currently on this list and not users of openSUSE I would tend to agree with your statement. However, I think in this thread we have seen statements from 3 distinct groups. From my point of view there is no reason not to believe that each of these groups would not be represented within the group of people not participating in the discussion. - - We have heard from the Tumbleweed users and those that are considering potential use under certain circumstances. - - We have heard from those that like the current snapshot based releases, ~12 months cycle. Primary statements revolve around reasonable stability, not too far behind upstream, reasonably current HW support etc. - - We have heard from those that like longer cycles and more stability. These statements often focus on production use and server deployments. I think each of the voices heard is a representation of the separation of users. We can argue about percentages and how this would divide and we'd probably never reach agreement. But I think we can probably all see these 3 distinct tendencies.
I can imagine that there might be a group of users, that wants to have a stable release that is support for a certain period, but I wonder like Martin if they would opt-in for a 3-year release cycle.
Yes, from those big three categories we can probably come up with an infinite number of further distinction.
