But we don't know if that'll happen or not.
It is unlikely that fragmentation will happen :)
People with certain skills and needs exist independent of what we provide. Not providing some flavor of openSUSE that fits skills and needs means they will not become users.
I was not talking about users per se, but about contributions.
So, ask our contributors and testers? Poll? I know it's not a perfect way of knowing what will happen but something is better than nothing. J
So, Rajko brought up a very substantial argument about improving our situation with regards to testing, but that might have drowned this point: do we want to have some indication to support or contradict Coolo's statement that a 1-year cycle would mean less working on and less testing of Factory? Until we have at least SOME idea about that, it's kind'a pointless to bring it up imho - the effect could be the opposite for all we know. I know a poll is not a perfect way of answering this question - more users is likely to lead to more testers and contributors but the poll won't tell us that, for one. But some data point would be useful imho.
