Maybe, you can fool users with "clever" naming, but only once. It is surely not worth trying.
Our only problem is to try a bit harder to be as close to conventions as possible, ie. meaning of Alpha, Beta and RC. Users didn't quit attempts to use development releases in a day, it took some time of upside down stability to run them away. I don't know how possible is to have "normal" stability taking that distro has only what upstream offers and in 8 months there is a lot of upstream development, so loading Alpha with a new software, then making only minor changes during Beta and nothing, but bugfixes in RC, will result in final version few months behind upstream. With kernel, Firefox and possibly other major projects adopting rapid release of 3 months, that can mean quite old, possibly unmaintained versions shipped with release. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
