But that is what James is complaining about, when openSUSE is working on a new release, up to the cut-off for Beta 1, it is bleeding edge, but after that, according to the FOSDEM slides, the Factory is itself "frozen" from new bleeding edge versions to allow the devs to trim the sharp edges off the "bleeding edge" so that it doesn't cut the average user when they install the new version upon release, then Factory reverts to bleeding edge again after the Gold Master has been "cut" for the new release.
