OpenSUSE Factory To Merge With Tumbleweed

sfcrazy writes Factory and Tumbleweed will merge to become a single release. The release will follow the development cycle of Factory but take the more appealing name, Tumbleweed. Commenting on the new development Greg Kroah-Hartman said, “The changes to the Factory release model have changed it from being an unstable development codebase into the type of rolling release I set out to create when starting openSUSE Tumbleweed. I’m very happy to see these two rolling releases coming together under the name Tumbleweed, and am looking forward to watching how it develops in the future.” Factory won't disappear; It will become a "development project" for creating the "user-ready" Tumbleweed."

Bennett, what's your position on this?

I'm unsure what to think about this merger until frequent contributor bennett haselton has posted his thoughts on this. I'm now convinced that his style of long comments is the new style of journalism. But I guess Bennett is busy curing ebola and solving mathematical millenia problems.

hmmm

I dunno about this. I think I'll move along to the next article now.
