Now that's a difficult situation. But there seems to be some time until release. And there may be a way out.
What came to my mind was
"Leap 42.15"
Following releases would be Leap 42.151, 42.16 etc. ... I encourage the decision makers to consider this option. It seems the best so far that I've seen. It keeps the "Leap 42" message while also having the SLE 15 correlation.
I disagree. Labels that impersonate numbers are abominations. 42.3 is an increment from 42.15 everywhere in the world except in software versions. Let the software packages continue using labels that look like numbers, but in the marketing names exposed to the world's minions, apparent count should proceed only upward. 150 is the minimal increase from 42.3 that incorporates 15. Next release would be an opportune time to do as was Fedora born 13 years ago - void of special characters in its Gnu name. 150 for next would be a bona fide leap. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
