[sle-beta] Highlights of YaST Development

[Vincent Moutoussamy]

Hi,

We know that the GMC milestone of SLE 15 is highly anticipated, we can’t really
communicate any ETA at the moment BUT:
- We can reassure you that we are working heavily on polishing and fixing this
milestone, GMC is the last phase before “Gold Master”!
- As a “mise en bouche” (French that could be translate as appetizer in english),
here the past Highlights of YaST Development Sprint you may have missed.

In my opinion these are the most verbose and technical insights you can read
from our R&D and SLE/Leap 15 development. It goes without saying that I highly
recommend you to read them all or just the topic that interested you the most.
