Perhaps, but openSUSE 12.1 is not a major release. We don't have any such major/minor planning, 12.1 is a largely arbitrary number.
My frame of reference is having worked in both the lab and as a field engineer at one of the largest hardware manufacturers (who btw write much more sw than MS). It was our policy to discourage customers from immediately upgrading to a new release unless it contained a feature or fix which was truly imperative to their business. This policy was the same at our major competitors. Sometimes we preferred to backport a patch (if feasible) rather than compel an upgrade.
I completely understand your frame of reference, but it simply does not apply here. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
