Hello,

Using rbrown's words, the "Printing" pattern combines the "functional" and "collection" pattern types. Would it perhaps make sense to have "Printing:Basic" plus "Printing:HP", "Printing:Epson", ... ??
Also using rbrown's words, what I would like to see first and foremost is 'syncing up' the openSUSE patterns with the SLE patterns so that there is a common base as starting point.
Assume this happens so that in particular the openSUSE "Printing" pattern matches the SLE "Printing" pattern, then openSUSE contributors could split the "Printing" pattern into smaller pieces and maintain each of them as needed by the openSUSE users.
Yes that is one of the main goals to start SLE 13 and openSUSE Leap 43.0 development with as close to a unified set of patterns as possible as this will make everyone's life easier. I guess given the feedback we have had about the printing pattern in openSUSE, if it is currently servicing multiple roles maybe we should consider taking this feedback in when creating the printing patterns for SLE 13, this is certainly the best time we will have to do so. It is my intention at this stage to make the openSUSE patterns match what the SLE patterns are doing but really for almost all cases I will be guided by the maintainers of the respective subsystems as they know there packages and hopefully there users better then I do. The main thing splitting some of the patterns out into separate packages and devel repositories should do is make it easier for the maintainers in those areas to update the patterns. Sorry if any of that doesn't make sense I probably should be sleeping.
Kind Regards Johannes Meixner
