Hi,
We[¹]'re working on a news article on Factory becoming a true rolling distribution[²] instead of being the development branch.
As you will be very well aware, it's been a while since 13.1 (acording to the original 8 month cycle we would release in 3 weeks - and I'm actually quite happy we're not putting a release out a day after the Final ;-)
But I still would like to listen reasons why people should not be sad 13.2 is not released, but rather take a second look at switching to Factory.
And for this I need your help: why did you switch to Factory or why do you consider it? What are the selling points of Factory? What killer features are in Factory that we don't have in 13.1?
Greetings, Stephan

Sorry if I will go out-of-topic in some or eventually all my comments. 1) A rolling distro has in my opinion the advantage to be the more updated in terms of kernel and packages but I will use it just on testing environments as VM, for example. 2) A stable release is in my opinion preferable for main environments as servers or even desktop where we look for stability and affordability. 3) Again in my opinion I would like to have an "LTS" Opensuse option as we find in Ubuntu. I'm not talking about Ever-Green project but a real Long Term Support release "cleaned" of all the bug collected by the base release (and never resolved) for people like me which are more interested to have a rock stable environment 100% bug-free than having the latest kernel available to test latest CPU or the ultimate Video card.
