Wow! Following this suggestion is like watching Obama try and push for health care reform! Has anyone taken any steps to "ASK" persons of Factory and "regular" testers of the annual release feasibility? On Wed, Sep 26, 2012 at 3:10 AM, Bryen M Yunashko <suserocks@bryen.com> wrote:

That's why I argue for a 12 month cycle: better for ALL our users. So if it doesn't impact development much (as in - the final result would be as stable and getting it out the door is not any harder) I think we should try to move to this.
+1 to this, with a *HEAVY* emphasis that we get a clearer picture of how this will impact development. Yesterday, I read in some point in this thread that a poll should be conducted about what our release cycle should be. I'm opposed to such a poll because I think ultimately it is up to the Factory team and contributors to decide what is realistically do-able for them.
Creating a poll where those of us who believe in 12-month cycle wins and yet Factory says "Wait, we can't do it this way." is a waste of time and would ultimately cause more friction.
Instead, I'd like to hear more from Factory folks explaining what is doable, and what isn't. We should be supporting options based on their say-so, not based on our wishlist.
This is what bothers me too - there is just too little input from people actually working on the issues. Jos has his dream picture of what the user experience with tumbleweed should look like, but in fact we will have more people testing RC kernels then ;(
Greetings, Stephan
Ok, so how do we move this discussion forward and more productively? What do we do to get more input? Perhaps this discussion needs to be held on -factory ML instead of -project? We could easily make the claim "speak now or forever hold your peace" but if those folks aren't paying attention to -project, then we're missing many boats. :-)
And in that spirit, can you enlighten us what you mean by more people testing the RC kernels? What will take people away from testing pre-RC kernels. And with many people typically testing only when it reaches RC phase currently, how does this differ in the new proposed scheme?
