Do you really think that's the purpose ? let me give you a reality check :-) it is to save development resources (aka money), especially in the long term. On every release, something important changes, old tools have to be updated, maintained and sometimes they simple don't fit any longer, making it "fit" consist in hacking very old code, which is essentially undocumented, full of workarounds rotting every month. Just a quick example https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=729107 (204 packages need update either directly or indirectly) just imagine the pain of dealing with even more older code. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
