Hi Stefan,

Private mail to avoid adding to the bikeshedding problem

opensuse@ is a user support mailinglist for all released openSUSE Products - that includes BOTH openSUSE Distributions, Leap & Tumbleweed.

opensuse-factory@ is the primary developer discussion mailinglist, for the discussion of the development of openSUSE's products - that includes BOTH openSUSE Distributions, Leap & Tumbleweed.

The primary function of -factory has _always_ been a developer mailinglist

The above has been true since the inception of both lists and has not changed. The only scope for clarification is the fact that Tumbleweed transitioned from being a developer-only offering to a general 'released' offering of the openSUSE Project in 2014.

Obviously, we're a happy friendly open community, so there is room for latitude in -factory. We should be welcoming to outsiders, especially potential contributors - but Carlos has established himself over the last 12 years as someone who talks before thinking, and I fully support Henne and Martin's efforts to remind him that when he posts knowingly ill-informed mails, he is detracting from the intended function of the -factory list

Hope this helps

Richard Brown openSUSE Chairman
