Hi,
as we're closing to the release of Leap 42.3, I'd like to ask your opinions about the frequency of update kernel releases.
I'll comment from my point of view as user. But it is two views, actually. For my desktop/laptop machines, frequent updates are not a problem; but for my machines doing server duty a reboot is more of a problem.
Thus, my opinion is that we could have frequent updates (once per month, say), but clearly indicate when the update is for security issues, and which we can skip or delay safely.
We are constantly getting kernel security issues, so pretty much every kernel update has security issues fixed.
OTherwise the type of the update would be "recommended" and not "security" though.
Right. Maybe my listing was misleading: the releases with asterisk were for severe security updates (aka fast-path update for SLE). All other regular updates contain either security fixes, too, or the regression-fix releases.
