On the other hand, we might consider providing up-to-date desktop environments as add-on products during the life cycle of the distro (basically make an add-on from factory repo after new KDE/GNOME/whatever gets released and stabilized).
How well tested would they be? As a case of unsupported/bleed-if-you- want? I would find that very useful, as long as it's easy to go back t stable baseline if it doesn't work out.
In case of OpenOffice wouldn't it be more or less trivial to detach the OO release completely from the desktop/distro release? Unlike the desktop software without which a desktop computer doesn't go, neither OO nor the desktop depend on each other. One less upstream date to worry about.
OO is relatively easy to detach, in fact its largely detached for SLED currently. -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr@novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
