The official support for the openSUSE version 11.3 will end in January 2012. That means there will be no more updates for this openSUSE version. Its not clear if openSUSE 11.3 will become an Evergreen-project like 11.1 and 11.2.
I am currently using version 11.3 and I think I will skip 11.4 and upgrade directly to 12.1 because this new version has some exciting new features like ownCloud, the kernel version 3.1, the new file system BTRFS and with Snapper you have the ability to create snapshots of your files.
