e.g. 9.2 was just taken out of updates. Why not wait till the closest version was released. Now people are forced to either be without security updates, or install a version, loosing 7-8 months running time, because they install SUSE 10.1.
If SUSE would have waited an extra month, the people could have gone from 9.2 to 10.2.
I think you have a point.
About the version numbering, it has already been stated that the numbering has no real purpose, exept for marketing, so let's leave it at that. I asume that when SLES and SLED come out, openSUSE will become openSUSE 11. (Yeah, it goes to eleven)
Year number version could be nice and informative; for instance, some new chap buying it on a shop would know if he was getting the latest or not. But it is just a number, after all. I don't see the need to change, it is good enough as it is now, so I don't vote for changing that. It would introduce confusion. But I would like to see 10.3, .4, .5... etc. No need to change to 11.x till a really big thing changes, like kernel 2.8. Doesn't matter much for me, anyway. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
