Since 3.11.y maintenance was discontinued by Greg, Ubuntu took over it. It made me wonder: are we willing to continue 3.11.y for openSUSE 13.1 updates, just relying on Ubuntu? Or, can we just move on 3.12.y?
Reviving an old discussion... It's been 6 months, and as far as I can see no decision was made. We did not move to 3.12.y, but we also did not move to Ubuntu's 3.11.10.z extended stable branch. While I am a little disappointed by the return of 4-number versions, I still believe that using Ubuntu's work as a base for openSUSE 13.1 would improve the overall quality of our kernel.
As an example, we had a bug report yesterday about a firewire bug which is already fixed in Ubuntu's 3.11.10.7 kernel, which was released 2 months ago.
I don't really care if we stick to 3.11 or move to 3.12, but any solution based on an extended stable or longterm tree seems better to me than what we have right now.
I would recommend moving to 3.12, and take advantage of the work being done there on that stable tree. But as I'm not an opensuse maintainer, my vote doesn't really matter much :)
I have a laptop with a ValleyView graphic chipset and it has some problems with 3.11 kernel (is shows a ghost vga monitor attached, the display stays black after sleep, etc). Such problems are fixed in 3.12 so I have a good reason to ask for moving to 3.12.
