What is with Tumbleweed and Evergreen? Is Evergreen for older servers in production a good solution? I heard that Tumbleweed is the future of openSUSE's upgrade strategy, and that it is quite a mess. I have done upgrades in the 9.x and 10.x versions, with unpleasant consequences. I do not have time for upgrade problems any more, and also not for 10.0, 11.0 and 12.0.

Could a thread be opened for a discussion on future upgrade and older production system strategies? See: http://news.opensuse.org/2011/01/03/opensuse-finished-2010-big/
