I agree with the term, but then we all wish this _stability_ to be migrated
to the new hardware when it appear.
And to be available on the servers (try to take SLES9 from DELL - you can
not anymore).

The main problem with SLES8 is hardware support (see recent e-mail in Oracle
forum - many people need _exactly_ SLES8 in production, and can not run it
because it was never adopted for the new hardware). We would like to avoid
such situation with SLES9. Having 2 basic versions (stable SLES9 and
bleeding edge SLES10) is not a bad idea - if we are not enfirced to migrate
because _your new servers are not supported_ (what happen with SLES8 when
ET64T platform appear), and if we can select.
Let's see how update management looks like in SLES10 SP1 (it's terrible in
release).
