With this semi rolling release I think it would make scheduling easier and also easier to keep the user base on a more common release level. Is there an example where such a release mechanism is successfully used?
Gentoo? Kinda sorta.

So we're happy to just play safe, not discuss different models that might solve the real issues that are apparent? There just seems to be a general FUD about change. So for example "zypper dup" was there, but in 11.1 we don't commit solid behind it, and now for 11.2 in the fate entry, noone seems to be really sure what work needs to be done to make it "just work" for most end users. The fast 6 month time release of Ubuntu & Fedora, with LTS & CentOS as no fee stable alternatives, does give end users a way to avoid bleeding edge, and move to a stable system with out subscription charges for security updates. 10.3 had a long release cycle, it also appears to me to have been highly unstable, until a few months after release. 11.0 & 11.1 released after fairly short time, and it was clear the majority did not want that either. There's a big danger, that openSUSE will look staler and staler, and that we don't address the perceived quality issues, before the grand release. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
