Wrt Michaels comment, I think it might be possible to define reasonable major number thresholds. We (and presumably SLE product management) would just have to accept that major releases won't happen very often.
From a SUSE Linux Enterprise perspective we are looking at major release cycles of three or more years. And, yes, product management is fine with that. ;-)
Bit of a catch-22 - we won't know what the last minor is until SLE is out, but that is already based on the last.
That is something we could untangle by providing more insights into our plans for SUSE Linux Enterprise up front. I guess this is something I'd be able to take care of.
Please do. While some openSUSE contributors may not have any interest at all in SLE, there are some of us who definitely are interested.
I am in no way intimately familiar with the SLE product cycle etc., but is it important to have such a strong coupling between openSUSE and SLE?
In my experience, it is a plus - and it helps both the open source project and the enterprise side.
I am quite intimately familiar with both SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE and it's been nice in the past, while I do not consider it truely important going forward.
I have to politely disagree there. For some of my prior clients this was a important feature. They could evaluate many things prior to upgrading/adding subscriptions for SLE* I doubt they would tell you differently today.
Note: none of the above is a request to keep the status quo, nor is it a request for change. In my mind this is something for openSUSE to decide independently and I will be glad to provide whatever data may be needed for that.

This is not of huge importance in any case IMHO. There are other more important tasks to tackle. Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
