Hi All, I must be missing something here, or it might have been explained but my attention span across the zillions of emails around this topic of creating a new distro is just very bad... For openSUSE 11.1, we will have updates ('support') for 18 months. Those who wants to provide long term support for 11.1, can simply create their own updates. It wouldn't be difficult to create a common repo where people can contribute to patches for this purpose and keep doing that for some 7 years or whatever the plan is. Heck, since we're not talking massive changes and updates, anyone can help out with this, as well as working on openSUSE Factory etc. One issue with this, is that we normally clean up OBS by removing old, unsupported distro versions, but that is surely a decision that can be changed if there are such noble goals as to create a long term support cycle. By creating an entirely new distribution, some folks that previously contributed to openSUSE will no longer have time for that, and put their efforts into the new distro instead. In my opinion, we are already short of people contributing and this split will obviously make that number even smaller. So, please enlighten me what I'm not getting here...
