fyi: The delay had nothing to do with desktop managers per se. It was proposed because the overall complexity of the openSUSE codebase had gotten to the point that the old integration testing methodology was a heavy burden on the core team. The new methodology added rings of integration (staging repos) and automated QA testing.
All reports I had seen about the new methodology had been good until a couple days ago. It seems that among other problems the automated QA testing was all taking place with 64-bit architecture. Unfortunately a major 32-bit bug got into factory and now it is badly broken. (Read Coolo's email if you want it from the horse's mouth.)

Thanks Greg, I remember when the ringed QA path was first proposed on factory several years ago. The current i586 issues look interesting, and hopefully resolvable without too much backtracking. I hate it when we get outsmarted by our own technology :p -- David C.
