We are already at openSUSE 10.x, and after a few years we could reach openSUSE 14 or 15, this just sounds a little odd to me.
Why?
I don't know, it just sounds odd to me, and none of the other distros have such a high release number. I also think that by doing a "year release number" like 2007.1 or 2007.2 will point out to new comers to Linux with what version they are dealing,
Whats the difference to some other number?
like from which year the version they are using is.
Ah that. Of what use would that information be? I cant think of any. And if someone is as braindead as that and has a problem with numbers that do not correlate directly with a date i dont think your scheme would help very much...
Also it would be good, IMO, that SUSE releases only once a year. I don't know if this is possible and if Novell has something to say about it, but by releasing only once a year we could have a far more stable, well tested, less bug prone,
very old, very boring
releases.

They, and I'm one of them, also claim that SUSE's quality testing has dropped very low.
I dont think this is true. In the past we always had bad releases because someone f***ed up / something vital was FUBAR. We have that now and we will have that in the future. I remember 5.3, 6.1, 7.1, 8.2 and more. All utterly broken piles of dogpoo...
Also, most SUSE users want to use their system a little longer before upgrading to a newer release.
An no one forces them to do so. SUSE users have two years before they "have" to update. Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, http://hennevogel.de "To die. In the rain. Alone."
