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?
Then this should be pushed for testing in that light. I understand about the delay and read the discussion and reasoning and believe the best road has been chosen. But I do not believe the Tumbleweed "morph" into Factory, aka rolling-release, has been fully explained as such. At least I failed to understand it in that light. Is Factory currently solid enough to employe in a semi-productive environment? If so I would consider changing repos for my workstation from Tw to Factory, but I need to feel fairly comfortable, ie: I do not want to force myself into a full installation to recover. Just changing repos from Tw to Factory should suffice, yes.
