There were a number of issues resolved and new features added with this
glibc update, so why wouldn't we want it included in Tumbleweed once it
has shaken out to be stable?

And hopefully not everything will rebuild when we add it, I'm working on
that at the moment.

Perhaps, but by the time all of the packages get working properly with
it, the next major release of openSUSE might be here so the upgrade
path would be to it instead.

In short, we will see.
