Actually what I want to get away from with this release is Alpha, Beta and RC. Our Alphas are usually not less stable than our betas and our RCs are usually not 100% release material. So I want simple Milestones with goals associated to it. These goals wouldn't be much different from what we have now, but it would make it more clear IMO.
I think this is a great idea. openSUSE 11.2 M1 (milestone 1), etc. Considering in the few years I've been testing openSUSE, I've tested out RCs that were worse than alphas, getting away from the naming is probably a smart idea. I can't name how many times I've read a Linux news article "what is wrong with this thing? It's RC 1 but it is horrible", sometimes even when the RC is a month or so away from the actual GM release (and that affects everyone, not just openSUSE, I've read about that in relation to all sorts of software). It's the naming. -- Kevin "Yeaux" Dupuy - openSUSE Member Public Mail: <kevin.dupuy@opensuse.org> Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from the Yeaux! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
