It's actually 7 years for SLES and SLED. And yes, given the complaints on these lists if the latest KDE packages aren't out the second they are released, I have a feeling many people would get very bored It does however bring back to my mind my suggestion for a distribution scheme, where a release consists only of the base packages, the core OS. Then on top of that have add-on products like KDE, Gnome, Apache etc. all shipped as individual CD addons, separate products. Then you could have a stable core, well tested and integrated, and have more frequent updates of the desktop eye candy Ideally, it would also force the people who produce statistics on security bugs to separate a bug in e.g. koffice from a bug in glibc or the kernel, bringing some sort of sanity to the numbers --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
