Next time, those who have set up tumbleweed properly (using the 'current' repo) will not notice much of releases (other than a slightly larger set of changed packages than usual). This is the idea of a rolling release: you slowly move from one release to the next, without huge changes at any point.
Exactly; but it wasn't rolling. The repo was, effectively, a distro-version-specific add-on for 11.4. And that should just have been left around in the state it was on, instead of pulling updates that were available. A "rolling release" rarely should see such large jumps, btw. Most of the time the updates should be phased in.
Asking for 'Tumbleweed for 11.4' is like asking for icecream on your fries. Surely you can do it but it doesn't make any sense and you surely didn't get the point of either fries or icecream.
Kindly don't be so condescending, and kindly don't misquote. I didn't ask for an on-going tumbleweed on 11.4 (that would indeed be silly), just that updates shouldn't suddenly disappear, and re-using a repository that had 11.4 updates for 12.1 ones is not very nice. Given the previous channel setup, a new channel for 12.1 would have been advisable. If we had a true rolling distribution, yes, that point would be moot.
