Announcing the openSUSE Tumbleweed project

"Tumbleweed" is meant to be a rolling version of openSUSE containing the most recent stable versions of packages. " A good example of how Tumbleweed is different from Factory would be to look at the kernel package today in Factory. It is 2.6.37-rc as the goal is to have the final 2.6.37 release in the next 11.4 release. But, it is still under active development and not recommended for some people who don't like reporting kernel bugs. For this reason, Tumbleweed would track the stable kernel releases, in this case, it would stay at 2.6.36 until the upstream kernel is released in a 'stable' format." The project will get rolling (so to speak) for production use after the openSUSE 11.4 release.
