No, the major difference is that we don't guarantee the package in Contrib will receive fixes for the lifetime of the distro. We would love to acheive that, but it is not always possible (if maintainer drops out). This is unthinkable for Factory package.
Well, in an ideal world maybe. In reality if a package maintainer vanishes, doesn't want to fix or can't fix things in openSUSE releases a buggy or vulnerable package stays that way just as well. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
