I don't understand this. What will there be to complain about? The source shouldn't be upgraded by design. Updates / Changes should be pushed via the "Update" repository. I understand there may be reasons to change the source, but if that's done it should be changed to "Gold Master" and an update to change the sources should be pushed to the new source. That's right, and update to point the old source to the new (esp with how zipper takes care of repos now. The suprrise would be a change being pushed via the OSS / NON-OSS repository, not surprised there isn't a change. >That, apparently, is a matter of opinion / design decision. You made >your case.
