I have worked with Mr Dirsch and I find him very reasonable to work with. I think the point trying to be made is that when beta1 is released this week factory will be frozen for a couple days and that testing during this time will allow a set point that a good comparison can be made. Factory is constantly changing and may be broken at any time. The Beta 1 will be a known working point that things can easily be used to reference and verify/trouble shoot/fix the bug. I do not see the request as being unreasonable to the reasons I have mentioned above. I find all the SuSE developers very willing to fix real problems when they can be verified and replicated so the bugs can be found and fixed. My gratitude goes out to all the People both in an out of Novell working to make this the best distribution.
