Suppose in 2 years it's decided to go to a 10-month development cycle? That shifts the end dates for the ones that are already out there.
why? I don't think so. duration is more or less 2 years
If the replacement product isn't ready when the previous one goes EOL, that creates a gap.
The proposal is to just use the EOL date when the final release is made. There has been no suggestion to /change/ how release dates are arrived at, nor how releases are made/scheduled. If what you suggest is correct - that openSUSE can have a gap where no release is 'alive' - then that problem exists regardless of the naming scheme you adopt. If anything this naming scheme has forced these 'problems' to be exposed - if they exist at all that is ;) I think product release/support policies are quite separate from naming schemes - the proposal is simply to bring some important information forward instead of it being buried on a 'lifetime' wiki page that very few look at.
