Hi Robert,
I guess it has to be spelled out:
It's not impossible in theory. In practise it won't happen that SUSE engineers work on two openSUSE releases in parallel. This includes bug fixes and maintenance work. So your "another person" above has to replace a lot more than Stephan. I don't see a lot of interest in doing that.
2cents from packagers. It is exactly as Stephan says. It is not just the creating the release (for which we never found volunteers) we would also need maintainers that are willing to work on 2 concurent branches. At least from SUSE perspective we probably would not be able to do that in work time (talking for pack team, but I bet security and others will be also really full of joy) and from openSUSE perspective I can imagine how happy the people would be if you tell them they need to probably double the efforts needed to create maint-update. Cheers Tom
