Let's face it: some aspects of how we (= the openSUSE community) have been handling releases have serious room for improvement. On the tools front we have made good progress. Testing and development cycle have a lot of potential still. The proposal Coolo shared is one idea to improve on that front.
Yes i agree we should focus on testing for 11.2 (some of those steps are already done now just provide usuable beta releases and i think we are almost done in this area). My concern is only about this 8 month release cycle (which i agree because we don't have to deliver buggy stuff in the usual 6 month release like fedora and ubuntu) is the fact we have to sometimes let the latest GNOME or KDE out. Other distros are usually shipping those in time and desktops are usually the "face" of the distros. One good rule of OSS, release good and release often because it will be good marketing.
