No as IT persons do. I'm assembler in my company and I don't touch even things that is easy to rectify, just because I'm not trained to do so :)
I see people that hate the job and any piece of work place, including computers. They don't want to learn more than one path how to accomplish tasks they are paid for. They can't say to the boss the truth, but go around and complain on anything possible.
Generally speaking, businesses prefer stability. Random unnecessary change is bad for productivity and efficiency.
However, I also don't think the 18 months interval is a problem, it only means that people skip one or two releases, in particular when they (the releases) don't bring any significant/desired new functionality.
With servers is another story, but if you support services that need stability then use SLES, otherwise pull sleeves up and learn how to adapt configuration to new release, or find other in the same position and take over maintenance beyond 1.5 years.
Yep. That works fine too.
Sure, but that was steady complain by few guys on opensuse ML.
Understandably - it's extra effort, which could be avoided by having a longer release cycle. Or one designed to cope well with gaps. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
