Moin, with regards to the discontinuation mail for openSUSE 10.3 [1] sent out by Marcus the other day I'd like to clarify the changes in the maintenance period of openSUSE. openSUSE will shorten the maintenance period to 2 versions plus 2 months which translates with the current release cycle of 8 months to 18 months instead of 24 months we had with openSUSE 11.1 and previous releases. With that we now can guarantee an overlap time from a maintenance perspective which gives enough time to update machines to newer versions.
