Personally I'm very much for sticking to the 8 months. 12 months is too darn long for users and developers alike - and 6 months is too short.
The feeling I have is that users actually don't want to be updating GB's all the time; I saw Fedora discussions about this where the opposite was proven; Ubuntu LTS releases have a very solid/strong user base for normal users (not the hype 'riders'); Debian stable is probably an example of that also...
Are you really sure that normal users think like that ?
There are of course many different types of users. Clearly many users just want to install once and use the same thing for 10-15 years without anything ever changing - for others 8 months is far too long without version numbers increasing. So it's about balance. Fedora users are forced to upgrade every 13 months. For openSUSE currently it's 18 months. With a 12 month cycle _maybe_ that would be increased to 24 months - so not that much difference - assuming the lifetime would be increased at all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
