Do we have a timetable for when the video will be posted? I’d love to comment but I’d like to see what was said first. Sincerely, Bob Martens

In particular though, regarding package selection, I do have the following constraints:
- no downgrades relative to the versions that already were present in 13.2, even if that means that converging to openSUSE:Essence takes longer. I am not going to accept the backstep from kernel 3.16 to 3.12 :-)
It's a hard to swallow pill, but the question is basically: for how long can *you* maintain 3.16? kernel.org doesn't for you nor does SUSE. Before it's misunderstood: the 3.16 kernel in 13.2 is maintained as long as 13.2 is - replace 3.16 with 4.$SOMERANDOMNUMBER in my argument :)
The point is that there are features that you cannot backstep from. For example, kernelnewbies.org says about 3.16: "In this release, XFS has added a btree that tracks free inodes. This feature adds does not change existing on-disk structures, but adds a new one that must remain consistent with the inode allocation btree; for this reason older kernels will only be able to mount read-only filesystems with the free inode btree feature."
Whatever kernel is picked for 13.3, if it is less than 3.16, people could run into a problem for something that worked before. I have not found the new flags on my XFS superblocks yet, but that does not have to mean anything.
Can we agree on: 13.3 kernel needs to be able to cope with filesystems created with 13.2
and leave out version numbers?
Greetings, Stephan
